I need the best Scottish boys name in the world...

...to counteract the likelihood that his middle name will be -eek- Keith!!!

MN is after FIL (who is lovely, but whose name isn't, & who has no middle name!!).

First name needs to be Scottish as a family tradition. So I need the best, coolest, loveliest Scottish boy's name ever to distract from the awful MN!!

Thank you kindly. Really good ones please!!

Angus is DH's favourite. Think it sounds silly with DD's name though.

Love Logan. Ross is good too but again sounds less good with DD's name.

I'll second Alexander, although I think it's technically more Greek, but I have an Alexander, and we're Scottish.

Euan is best (not biased at all!) I like Hamish, Dougal, Murdo and Angus. Would have gone for Hamish myself but OH wouldn't let me.

Donald is brother & late Grandpa's name. I would love to use it again but DH distinctly unkeen.

Love Gregor but is close friend's fiancé which might seem a bit strange. It's on the list though!

Grieg sounds Scandinavian to me?

Is your DD called Agnes? Cos that would sound a bit crap with Angus. Otherwise, no problem shurely!

Ruairidh is a fantastic name, It would have been DS's name but DH was worried about no-one spelling it correctly.

Cameron is a good one.

I was going to say Lachlan but apparently that is of Irish origin.(sounds Scottish though)
