DS is Harris James. What would you call DC2?

I would like a Scottish name somewhere in there, but we're pretty stuck!

I was going to say Lewis, too! How about Torquil?

I don't know why but Rosie immediately came to mind for a girl!

For boys how about Callum, Gregory, Logan or Angus...

I would avoid: Paris, Ferris, Rolf and Harry.

the ones I would say for boys have already been suggested, Hamish, Cameron, Fraser.

Girls names are harder, and I think you need something strong to go with Harris, but most of hte strong girls names I like aren't scottish...

Avoid Lewis :)

Angus, Alasdair, Fraser, Lachlan, Hamish/Seumas, Calum, Gregor, Ruairidh

Iona, Isla (though Isla and Harris is funny!), Kirsten, Catriona?

Can see a lot of these have been suggested, sorry!

Lewis is too popular in Scotland. It's no 2 I think.

Iona does not go with our surname (in a Jenna Taylor kind of way, not just that it doesn't match).

Kirsty and Callum are both out due to family members.

A Scottish middle name works for me if we can't agree on a Scottish forename.

Thank you for all the suggestions so far. I shall speak to DH and see if there's any we both like.
