Wasn't going to post on baby names, but now have plenty time on my hands as laid up with broken ankle with 8 weeks til due date....

Our dillema is this.

DH, DS and I all have names beginning with J. We didn't intentionally give DS a J name, we didn't really think about it tbh.

So, I am due ds2 in 8 weeks (or sooner) and we still haven't decided if we will give him a J name or not.

There aren't really any J names that spring to mind instantly, but I haven't really looked very hard.

Or do we steer away from the J thing completely?

We are also looking for a Scottish name that isn't one of the really popular ones just now like Lewis or Cameron for example. Nothing against these names,I like them, but don't want him to be one of 6 in the class!!

But I also don't want it to be a rare name that nobody has heard of.

Our surname is two syllables, ending in an, so can't be anything like Gordon or Struan, ending in similar sound.

I'm not fussy or anything eh?

Fire some suggestions at me....

it was from AGES ago, the one where he started off going on about his name in huge pink letters/ the big slipper/ coats down the sleeves of the duvet and have another custard cream father?

no?

just me?

I remember the big slipper.

And the incontinence pants.

But not Alasdair

Link please - could do with a giggle

What about Rory?? Dont know if it would go with your two J names. You could always have Kade (have also seen it spelt with a C). Some strange names here but they are scottish so some of them might work for you.

I know it Dizzy Alasdair and Forbes was it now or Farquar (or is that Shrek?)

Pity you cannot use Murray I know a gorgeous 8 week old Murray I could steal him

no you're right Kitty - AlisDair, tarquin, crawford, forbes etc - he was taking the p out of the second name brigade if I remember rightly

Bella32 - will have a look for it once the kids are down

Our DS is Fyfe - my husband's family are Scottish. Is it quite unusual though and does get lots of comments.

Other possibilities:
Lachlan (I prefer it pronounced locklan rather than lacklan)
Logan
Ewan
Fergus
Hamish
Ivar

Really like Angus.

Angus

here it is HERE IT IS!!!

comedy genius

KimLouiSeb - it's pronounced Lacccccchhhhhhlan

Sassenach!!!!

Dizzy - thank you! Have had an awful day and that is just what I need. You are a star

its brilliant isn't it Bella32 - loads of his clips on youtube including my favourite about the Wildebeast! hope your day is better tomorrow

Thank you, dizzy

Just going for a wee now

DP has always wanted Logan for a boy, it's quite common now though

first names

not that I have been trawling them or anything

jonah

is Jonah scottish?

biblical I thought!

Quite liking Murdo today, but it's the name of DH's Auntie's cat...

well Murdo is definitely Scottish! Too similar to murder for my liking. Know of one wee Murdo though. Prefer Innes

Innes

Innes

Innes

unless your surname is MacInnes then please don't do it but yeah I'm going to get my pom poms out and cheer Innes alongside dizzydixies

good to have you onboard Smac

These are the names that I like:

Josiah
Jonah
Jonathan
Jordan
Jack
Jody
Jenaro
Jaffar
Jasper
Jacob
Jake
Jollington
