  1. To be with you all the time

  2. Alistair has Scottish origins, and my husband’s parents both have Scottish heritage. My husband is a redhead, which proves it! Haha. Alistair is also the Medieval Scottish form of Alexander, which is the masculine version of my name. Alistair means “defender of mankind,” or to “defend, protect, and help.” We believe kids truly grow into the names we give them and hope that Alistair grows into these wonderful characteristics!

  3. My husband wanted an old money style name and we needed something that fit with the uniqueness of our firsts name (Salem). We went through a lot of options and eventually settled on Alistair after listening to a song with that name in it.

  4. I’ve always loved this name! I think it’s a strong name and unique but not too crazy ?

  5. Wanted an A name. I love his name and that it’s Scottish. He is an amazing snuggle bug. He’s always wanting to be on the boob and is such a good eater. I’m so in love with him.

  6. Felt it is a strong name that isn’t too common without being ‘weird’

  7. Strong and unique without being too different

  8. Both my husband and I come from English descent. We also liked the uniqueness of the name, without it being too different. We call our son Ali for short and I think it’s an adorable nickname for a baby ?
