Kin to James

I think I like the name Hamish. In fact I know I do.

Sadly my last name starts with H and is one syallable & sounds horrid with Hamish.

Your thoughts on it?

I know a couple with 3 kids - Hamish, Hannay and Hudson. Personally I like it!

I've met a few guys with this name, and several dogs. Soemthing about it seems comical. But it seems to work.

No offense, but I think it is the one of the worst names I have ever heard.

I like Hamish.
I also like Garreth, which isn't the same at all but it kind of is in my head because they are both Scottish.

I always thought Gareth was welsh?

Aha, you're right according to behindthename.com it is Welsh and English.
So now I really don't know why I associate the two names together!

Hamish sounds really cool. I hate to use the word cool to describe it, but I don't know what other word to use. I really like it for some reason.

I really dislike Hamish. I know only one man called that and he is old. Despite it being a Scottish name I don't think Scottish people like it that much!

Name your child that, and you'll have to accept that you're risking your child being called Ham, Hammy, Pig, etc. Especially if they were on the pudgy side. =\
