DS is Harris James. What would you call DC2?

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

My cousin in Inverness just called her new baby Garve - that's nice and unusual.

I like Iona for a girl's name.

Was hoping I'd slipped Isla in unnoticed there!

GRO Scotland just published last years first names for babies. Why don't you google that and see if anything takes your fancy?

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.

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!

DontmindifIdo · 05/05/2013 20:15

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

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...

farmersdaughter · 05/05/2013 20:11

Campbell or Fraser
