[Opinions] Alastair
Hello,
My name is Kelly Sinclaire;I'm Seda's friend, but Seda said there were already some Kelly's here so I'll go by my last name. Seda's been a fan of this site for some time so I'm finally here. My favourite name is Alastair, but Alastair is extremely popular, so I would use it as a middle name maybe.
What do you think of it? Would you rather place it as a first or middle name? What names go well with it?
Thanks!
Kelclaire

Alastair is not popular at ALL! I think Alastair would be better on an Irish child, and Alexander is better. It doesn't matter where it is. I LOVE Alexander.Welcome to the Boards, Sinclaire!Lala

Well Alastair is no where near popular where I'm at so I would use it as a first name.I like it but all the different spellings can get confusing. It is a nice name though, and I think the nn Allie would be particularly cute.

Hi.I like Alastair a lot, and I didn't realize it had gotten popular in Scotland. It's unheard-of around here (I'm in Texas). I slightly prefer it spelled Alistair.I'd use it as a middle name, even though it's not popular here, because there are so many names I like better, and because I'd want to avoid the nickname Al (which would be inevitable where I live).How about -
Jude Alastair
Colin Alastair
Keith Alastair
Leif Alastair
Martin Alastair?? I dunno. Not sure what sort of names you like, yet. - chazda

I love this name! My favourite pairings are Owen Alistair or Alistair Owen - I can't decide which I like better.

I love Alastair! It's number 3 on my list of boys names (under Charles and Rory).My favourite combo is Alastair Bryn. I also think it sounds good with Charles (Alastair Charles & Charles Alastair). I also like Rory Alastair.Louise x
