Stuck for a name for DS2

[electriclassie]

Hi, we've just found out we are having another son and are struggling to think of a name we can agree on. DS1 is Ben and our second name begins with M and is quite long... Anyway, we'd like something Scottish. Both love William (but decided you cant really have Ben and Bill - Jerry is definately out!!).

What do people think of Angus (Gus)? I like Murray but my DH says it doesnt go with our last name.

Other ones I like are:
Gil (Gilbert)
Bailey
Aidan

Any comments or other ideas?
Thanks!

Gil is gorgeous in the extreme.
Angus is wonderful.
Bailey and Aiden are not my cup of tea at all.
My Uncle's mn is Murray and he is hugely embarrassed about it!

Perhaps Angus goes better with Ben than Gil, because I thought of Bengal as in Tiger when I said the two out loud! Then Ben & Gus made me think Fungus and then I made a typo and wrote Anus....

So after all that my vote goes to Gilbert!

how about Monty?

Thanks Bixley very funny message! And, bodiddly all my boys will be called monty anyway because of our second name so what we call them for a first name doesnt really matter that much!!

aaaah .... I did wonder!

I like Gil but not sure it goes with Ben (but does that really matter) also not sure I would like to be called Gilbert (if I was a boy!)

Bailey just makes me think of Baileys - good for a cat not for a boy?

Love Angus.

How about Ewan, Hamish or Struan?

I heart Gil

Angus is fab too

no to Murray

what about Hector - its FABULOUS!

Fraser another great Scottish name thats often overlooked

um, apart from Murray and Angus, the others aren't Scottish
don't like Bailey, especially as girsl are called that now as well

• how about Calum, Stuart, Fergus (could also be Gus), Tammas or Douglas?

Callan?

I like Bailey! Or Aidan

I like both Hector & Angus - biased towards Hector as that is my DS1 name.
Love it love it love it......

Wasn't brave enough to call my DS2 Angus as we have only a paternal grandparent scottish link so it seemed a bit odd to call them both scottish names.....

Pippy, Hector is my FAVOURITE name

I like Angus.

I really like Aidan (irish, no?)

Jock Jimmy Archie ........ very Scottish

Archie yes but please not Jock or Jimmy

you might as well feed him buckfast from a brown paper bag from birth, dye his hair ginger, paint his skin blue and wean him on deep fried mars bars

You want Dougie or Doogie-ha ha
Can't believe not one has said the obvious so let me be the first

Alexander

love Hamish too
could use James

Donnel
Donald
Kinnear
Irvine

Donald
Fergus
Lachlan
Douglas
Stewart
Duncan
Iain
Ross
Murray (I like it, I know others on the thread don't)
Murdo or Murdoch

Hmm, that's all just off the top of my head, will see if I can come up with more

mawbroon is that all your own bairns?!?!? what are your girls called?!

LOL, well, I thought abody knew that my bairns were called:

Hen
Joe
Maggie
Daphne
Horace
The Twins
and The Bairn

I like Angus and Fraser.

Bailey seems to be a girls' name now (surname imho)

I really like Gilbert (Gil) and Angus (but not Gus).

Fraser,James,Hamish and Alexander or the gaelic version Alasdair are other Scottish names I like.
