Help[Opinions] Fraser vs Frasier
So... Sian suggested Fraser for our #3, and I really, really love it. (Other kids are Hattie Camille and Meyer Sullivan.)
My dilemma is that I prefer the Frasier spelling, and I feel like it is established enough to not look bizarre, but.. it's not the original spelling, so I have a mental block. LOL.
What do you prefer? And when you look at Fraser, do you say, "fray-zhure" or "fray-zer"? Because I want it pronounced "fray-zhure," but don't like the Frazier spelling. :-p
Also... middle names... ? Last name starts with a K, and is one syllable.
Frasier Jamison
Frasier Graham
Frasier August (initials FAK?)
Frasier Robert (my dad's name, but is the double "R" a problem? I'm not feeling it... :/ )
Jamison, August and Graham are some favorite names for first names, but I probably won't use. Well... okay, maybe Graham and August are still on the list as first names.

Where I am from, you never hear it pronounced FRAY-zer. It wasn't until I heard Hadley Fraser say his own name a few years ago that I even knew there were alternative pronunciations of the name.
I like Fraser and Frasier. I do NOT like the Frazier spelling. The Z makes it look like the cheap version of the name. Stay away.
I like both spellings of Fraser and Frasier and I like both pronunciations.
I think where you live and how the name is most commonly said there would have to be the best way to determine which way you should say/spell it.
I like Frasier Graham best, I think.
But Frasier August is nice too.
Frasier Harlow
Frasier Sutton
Frasier Jules
Frasier Bastian
Frasier Hayes
Frasier Coleman
Frasier Quinn
Frasier Robin
Frasier Ellery
Frasier Morgan
Frasier Arlo
Frasier Jamison
Frasier Egan

I prefer the spelling Fraser. The unnecessary I tips it over into pretentious territory, IMO.
I say "fray-jur" no matter how it's spelled.

Fraser - fray-zer
Frasier - fray-zhur (or possibly fray-see-er)
I prefer the look of Fraser but since I don't pronounce them the same I would go with Frasier.
It's kind of theme-y to have both Meyer and Frasier in a sibset. It does bother me, to be honest.
Frasier Jamison and Frasier August are my favorite combos from your list.

Fraser (FRAY-zer). Frasier reminds me of the tv show.

First thought, the American boxing legend Joe Frazier, as far as I can remember is the pronunciation FRAY-see-er.
Do you mean something maybe like this?
For me personally there would be a difference in pronunciation, Fraser=Fray-zer &
Frasier=Fray-see-er, in any case not Fray-czar. (That would be something like this: Frasar)
I like Fraser Jamison quite well, maybe also Fraser Tennyson, Fraser Donovan.

I like Fraser or Frasier. I think Frasier is known enough as a surname it shouldn't be a huge issue. I would only pronounce it fray-zhure... I actually didn't know fray-zer was a pronunciation until I watched the Outlander TV show and that's how they say it and I'm like NOOOOO I've been reading those books for years and saying it differently! :P So anyway, I don't know how prevalent fray-zer is irl, I've never heard it!

I think you'd really need to spell it Frasier if you want it said that way. I don't think many people would intuitively pronounce Fraser that way and you might have difficulty with that.
Frasier August is nice
Frasier Graham is very Scottish
What about
Frasier Finbar
Frasier Fergus
Frasier Hamish
Frasier Scott

Hi !!!
I found Fraser very recently..
I like it!
I would pronounce it fray-zer.
I didn't know that it could be also with zh..
But I strongly dislike Frasier / Frazier pronounced with zh..
They would be too complex, mispelled and strange.
So I can only suggest you to use Fraser with the pronounciation that you mostly like
Fraser August is the best combo here!!
It flows well with your favourite ones!
Fraser Graham is awesome!
