So we're onto either Lachlan or Brodie for this one but I'm looking for more suggestions. We already have a Euan, Callum and a Fergus. I had dismissed Innes but heard it in a shop today and quite liked it.

Im stuck - poor we'd Fergus was nameless for 10 days - I want to get this one cracked before he pops out.

What does DB get shortened to? I'm worried we'd get lots of the 'Lochlan' pronunciation

You already have my DS name (with a spelling variation), DB is Lachlan, and if I ever had another DS he would be Innes!

Any sort of surname: Grant, Fraser, Ross etc
West coast names: Donald, Murdo, Hamish
Place names: Angus, Moray/Murray

Callum is a derivative of Malcolm, so that wouldn't really work.

I love Angus. Wanted to use it for DS2 but DH wasn't keen. Don't know if it's too similar to Fergus for you, but a good, strong name IMHO. Also really like Innes and Lachlan.

Not sure if Magnus has Scottish roots (should do as am Scottish. Blush) but also think it's a lovely name.

I love Struan and Douglas. Dh is Scottish, but we went with Hebrew names for ds1&2 so now I can't have them - you can have them if you want!
Also love Malcolm and Donald.
