I like this name, but I always think of the demon from Supernatural so it's out for me.

I adore "proper" sounding names and Alastair is one of my favourites! I don't have a preferable spelling. Alastair, Alistair, Alasdair...It doesn't matter to me.

Very handsome, one of my favorites. I much prefer the spelling Alastair over Alistair.

Am I the only one who thinks of Lord Of The Rings when I see this name? Just the way I pronounce it in my head.
ShannonLim Says:
I love Alastair over Alistair! The spelling looks more appealing and I prefer the pronounciation too. I agree about the sophisticated part. Indeed it does look very regal.

This spelling is my preferred one, just because it looks more sophisticated. Love, love the name! The same goes for Eleanor over Elinor.
