lol - Both my friend and I think
Toby would be a good name for a dog!
They would pronounce
Alasdair as AL-as-ter or possibly AL-as-der but it sounded like
Alister when she said it (she has a different accent to me) which is why I asked her which spelling she would use. I think Scottish people might emphasise the ending of it more (like Al-as-STAIR). I hope that makes sense. It's hard for me to explain pronunciations!
