Roscoe.

posh but not pretentious
unusual but not wtf
quirky like 0 and 0
Scottish

Lysander is nice but a bit poetic. I see his long fingers and think how beautiful they must look playing the piano. I bet he always carries foolscap and a biro around, to jot down his thoughts.

Campbell is ok. Bit too soupy for me! sorry. I don't like Erin for the same reason.

If not Roscoe, then Bruce (after Parry not springsteen) and Donald or Victor. Victor not Scottish, but it has a lot of good attitute. Not bad attitude!

Did you go off Grey short for Gregor?

Can't do Struan - it's a best friends favorite and she'd go in a big huff if I 'stole' it.
Ronnie - don't like
Dougal - it's ok, but does make me think of the Magic Roundabout dog.
Sorry dizzy

Lawrie?

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 22:15

Lawrence is on my (long) list already but I'm a bit er, lukewarm over it.
God, sorry I'm just rubbish aren't I? Another girl would have been so much easier to name............I've never been able to 'do' boys names.

Harris!!

there, Harris

fabulous

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 22:36

nope dizzy really, really sorry but I know one already and wouldn't really want to 'copy' as it is quite unusual and it's also the name of DH's old school. Would just be too weird.
10/10 for trying though, I can see why it might have been a winner!

dizzydixies · 09/03/2009 22:38

oh frazzle, you must be near me kind of them

gosh you're a toughy to please!

Fyffe?!

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 22:42

Boys names are soooooo hard. Although I suspect maybe 3rd baby names are tricky anyway?

frazzledoldbag · 09/03/2009 22:43

oh dizzy no to all the above for various reasons.

Maybe I should just call it John.

thumbwitch · 09/03/2009 23:17

If your Dh is so desperately keen on Rory or Hamish, what about
Harry
or Romish? (ok, this one's probably made up, but it would be different!)
