New baby coming soon

[hamish's mum]

Hoping for more comments on this one, we are now 4 weeks away and still no closer to deciding on a name.
I have been thinking about Dylan lately as well

Would love some more suggestions

I am getting some inspiration from a famous Aussie poem by Banjo Patterson, "Clancy of The Overflow". I think Clancy would be a great fit and it is so terribly Aussie and an original choice too.

Hamish and Clancy (he sounds like a cheeky fellow to me) and it kind of sounds like Darcy (maybe that is a bad connection with so many girls claiming Darcy) but I like Clancy he has a bit of charisma for me, or Hamish and Barnaby, or Hamish and Rafferty.

Good luck!

I love Hamish and Finn (any of the variants).

I love can very easily see Hamish and Fergus together. I am pretty sure these are the brothers names from the movie "Brave". If script writers put them together, then they must a perfect sibset. ; )

Not being an Aussie, I haven't heard of Lachlan much at all. I LOVE it and the nn Locke. I know you said it was too popular over there, but it might be my new guilty pleasure. I wish it was a bit more known here. Anyways, I also love that sibset Hamish and Lachlan.

LOVE Fergus nn Gug or Ferg!!! I think a little Fergus would be adorable!

[hamish's mum]

Rollo - thank you for your ideas I like Rafferty but not a fan of Clancy

Shanapops - just looked at the brave movie trailer and Fergus is the king and Hamish is one of the triplets, still like Fergus along with Finn

Backstory roots - glad you like Fergus as well

My next delemma is middle names, we were thinking Phillip as it is a family surname but Fergus Phillip and Finn Phillip don't sound good together. Do you think I could add Jenson as a first middle name and leave .phillip as a second middle name. My mums name was Jennifer and it is a way of honoring her, she will never meet the new baby as she died late last year

Finlay Jenson would be adorable, two new loves of mine but I don't think Finlay Phillip would work at all.

I do like Archer but I don't see it as a brother for Hamish to be honest.

Alfred would work with Hamish, but again Alfred Phillip sounds off so Alfred Jenson would be better.

I love Louis and Wesley from the other list, and Edward nn Ted is very cute.

Hamish & Louis (Loo-iss) sounds odd, but would be fine if it were Hamish & Louis (Loo-ee).

I think Finlay or Wesley would get my vote but only if the middle name is Jenson.

Personally, I am over Harry as a name. Think naked Prince, One Direction.

Jenson sounds nice. Different! Jenson and Hamish match well.

Jenson Finn sounds so cool.

Aussie here too!

Fergus kind of matches Jennifer too.
Still like Fergus nn Gus. I have only taught one Gus.

I love Hamish and Fergus.....think this is your best bet. I wouldn't worry about a naming trend. If you have a daughter at some point, it would be easy to do something different than Scottish because of the different sex. Even if you have a third son someday, I still think you could break rank and find something that would work with both names.

[dolliedagger]

I always struggle with boys names but thinking along the lines of Finlay/Finn, have you considered Finnbar or Ffion/Fionn? They are more unusual than Finn here in the UK but Aussie naming trends could be totally different.
Good luck!

I love how much meaning Jensen/Jenson has for you. I happen to love the name Phillip, and between the initial f sound and the n's in Jensen I can even see a Philip Jensen going by Finn. But I also think a double middle is fine in this case, Finn Jensen Phillip or Fergus Jensen Phillip are strong names.
