Can't find a boys name I love - brother to Ella

[Imsoontobemummyto2]

I am imminently expecting a boy to be a little brother to my daughter Ella. I can't think of a name that I really love. We would like something relatively traditional, and perhaps (though not necessarily) Scottish as we have some Scottish ancestry. We are really struggling. There are loads of girls names I love but really struggling for boys' names. We both like names like Thomas, Alexander, Alastair etc but none of them are really jumping out at me. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

My fave boys name is Gregory, how about Gregor?

[rachel234]

Alastair is lovely or how about Quentin, Hamish or Dominic?

[Imsoontobemummyto2]

Thanks so much ladies - keep them coming. I do like Alastair but DH less keen. I like Hamish too. Still nothing grabbing me though. Maybe nothing will and I have unrealistic expectations of suddenly hearing a name and thinking "that's the one!"

Miles, obviously ;-) A jazz theme going.. and I think it is Scottish.

Ella and Kit

IvyBeagle I have just laughed out loud at your Winter is Coming joke on another thread!

Reuben - no idea why but first name I thought of when I saw the thread title

[LittleSF]

What about Brody? It's a Scottish surname originally (I think).

Ella and Brody sounds sweet.

[Imsoontobemummyto2]

I like Luke and Brodie, though DH has already vetoed Brodie I might be able to wear him down - thanks so much for all replies - any more much appreciated.

Logan? Logie for short.

[ooerrmissus]

Lots of good suggestions here.

Just don't name him Sam.

Sam n Ella, not good

[Imsoontobemummyto2]

Just to go off on a tangent......I really like Elliot actually but had ruled that out because I think we can't have an Ella and and Elliot - do others agree?

[Imsoontobemummyto2]

Omigod I hadn't thought of Sam N Ella and Sam isn't actually out of the question so ooermissus thanks v much for pointing that out......
