Will be finding out the sex of DC4 in a couple of weeks. If it's a boy, I'm a bit stumped as I've used up the names I really love on the other three, so I'd like a name for number 4 early on. For really stupid reasons that make DH go . Don't need girls names as I have them coming out of my ears but if it helps for style, my current fave is Genevieve.

Anyhoo, the other three lovely boys have vaguely scottish first names (not Fettes college standard like Fergus or anything) and I want something that will go.

I'm thinking middle names of Dominic Andrew so what do you think of the following as first names?

Gregor (shortened to Gray)
Calumn
Elliott
Nathan
Daniel

Hector is brill.

Daniel or Dominic. have you considered Murray?

Would definitely stay clear of Nathan. Far too many around here but Nathaniel (Nat) is fine.

Mackenzie (Mack)or is that too scottish? Gregory is ok but with Dominic as a second name and possibly a third name it would become all rather a mouthful. I have long names and at school longed to have monosyllabic ones

Thanks everyone!

So many nice names but having grown up in Scotland, a lot of them are attached to people (Murray, Alister, Fraser) and therefore no-nos.

Duncan, Neil, Lachlan, Hamish, Finlay, Alexander,(and so Hector) all out cos of family/close friends. Garn!

Hey, maybe I'll let DH choose. It'll be the first time .

Do you like Rory? Or is that attached to someone too?

Menzies is out, I guess

Ian? Or Ewan? Actually I think I like Ewan better...

I think you should go with Dominic Andrew as first names they are lovely

In fact I like all your names

My favs are in order

Elliot
Daniel
Nathan
Callum
Gregor

Birth is in T-3 days and counting I think I am going to keep his name underwraps it's not any of the above.
