Our names have been narrowed down to a few (Jonah or Jonas & Issac) for quite a while now but we have a late runner in Hamish. I quite like it and so does dh. So just trying to get a feel for this name - wdyt?

I love Hamish!
The other names are nice, but frankly, I think Hamish fits with the names of your girls much better!
Terrific name (but just don't make the middle name James
)

OR
Hamish Isaac

I agree with BMJ. Hamish is lovely and does seem to fit better with your girls.
I love Jonah, but I'm biased. 
I like Hamish. 
Hamish is lovely and definitely my favourite of the names you mentioned. I do love Isaac (spelled correctly) as well though.

Hamish & Isaac are my picks
Hamish is lovely with your girls. I love Isaac too and it's meaning is lovely.
Love Hamish. I am biased though as our baby is Hamish. Its a good, strong name and I think its lovely with your girls' names.
I like both Hamish and Isaac, they would be my picks.
I love Hamish but i am also biased
Isaac and Hamish (my 2 DS's). I also like Jonah/Jonas. They were also on my list. Either Hamish or Isaac would be great with your girls names. They are both strong, lovely boy names.
Hamish or Jonah!
Hamish followed by Jonah.
I think after 7 girls, go with name that's pulls on your heart Congratulations on your blue bundle.
Congratulations on your blue bundle.
I think Hamish is a great name, but my favorite from your list is Jonah (It would go well with your girls names too).
Another vote for Hamish! Was one on our shortlist 2nd time around but we got a DD!
All the best and congrats on little boy blue!

Another vote for Hamish. Totally biased though, my DS is Hamish
I have a Hamish and I think it's a beautiful strong name.

I strongly dislike the name Hamish. I have no good reason for this except possibly because it has the word Ham in it.
I LOVE Jonah and like Jonas.

I think Hamish is an effeminate sounding name.
I was going to post this too, but thought it sounded far too nutty.

All good names but Hamish is the best fit. Hamish Isaac Jonah perhaps?
Thanks all. I'm surprised, for some reason I thought Jonah would be the winner but it seems Hamish is the favourite. Will keep considering - with 5 weeks to go there is still plenty of time.
I don't mind Hamish, but I prefer Isaac. Hamish is very Scottish to me.
Jonah and Jonas seem a little 'trendy' to me (despite their origins), so I don't think they'll age as well.

I think Jonah fits best. And good luck to your little man growing up with all those big sisters! My brother thought he had it bad with 3

In order of my preference:
Hamish > Isaac close second, almost first > Jonah > Jonas dead last.
I like Hamish a lot I wish I could convince my DH of it as a FN but he will only take it as a MN.
