Hamish

Terrible. I picture a little Jewish old man.

I think it's terrible. Even for an Amish kid.

Everyone suggesting the "ham" nicknames... Isn't this name pronounced "hay-mish"? I've never met one, but I would assume Hamish hangs out with Gareth and is pretty pale.

One of the grooms from Four Weddings and a Funeral--the one Andie McDowell's character marries (she is so wooden!)

John Hamish Watson

First thought... but I watch Sherlock WAY too much

But people who don't know many Anguses or Ferguses will probably also pronounce it the ham way, or to rhyme with Amish.

First I went to Hunger Games and then Hamen the evil Purim villian

Danish. Yum...

I think it doesn't work as well here as some other Scottish names. I think all the other options listed would work better: Angus, Fergus, Gareth. Even Lachlan.

Break the mold. Choose Baconish. Everyone would lick him. I mean, like him.

Merida says it's one if the triplets names in Brave. That's what I though of.

I really like it. It's cool. I think PPs think all boys should be names James nn Jack or something.

Of all of the bad names suggested on this forum, this is probably the worst. Worse than Remmington, worse than Fredrika (or whatever it was). OP, this is an awful name. Really awful.

I like British names, but I don't really go for Hamish. Sorry. If you're looking for the James connection, would you be ok with Seamus?
