Happy new thread!
Re the names, DP and I decided on a girl's name about a week after we found out, but a boys name is taking a little longer. My current favourite is Alistair, but think it's a slightly funny name for a baby (can picture an older child or adult called alistair, but not a baby!). It also sounds v scottish with the middle name I've chosen, but not so concerned about that, my scottish dad will be pleased!
Is alistair hopelessly old fashioned? Also, it's the name of one of DP's cousins, but not one we're desperately close to. Would you find it weird if a cousin used your name for their child? In this instance, DP probably only sees said cousin a couple of times a year, and they get on very well...
