[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] Edwards

I adore this combo. Very handsome.

We chose [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m] for our son and no one could pronounce it. I’d go with [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] for that reason as it seems the most straightforward.

[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] is very handsome.

[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] is my pick- such a lovely combo by the way!

5

I like [name_m]Alastair[/name_m]

I voted for [name_m]Alistair[/name_m]. It’s the spelling that I’ve seen most often, so I think that variation would be easiest for your child.

As pronunciation goes, I would definitely say [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] and [name_m]Alastair[/name_m] the same way ([name_m]AL[/name_m]-liss-STAIR). [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m] might throw me for a loop if I didn’t see it grouped with the others. (uh-LASS-dair?)

Voted for [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m]. It’s the prettiest version for me, I love how soft it looks, and I love that you could use Dare for a nickname, even if it is pronounced with more of a -t- sound.
It’s a gorgeous name regardless of spelling though, and I really like it with [name_m]Cillian[/name_m]. It has a lovely serious, calm and steady feel.
