I like Alba, DH likes Murron. We are of scottish blood living in England, which is why I think Alba better as Murron only sounds nice in a scots accent.

Or any other Scottish girls names you would like to add please feel free.

ps, is Murron the Scottish gaelic/same name as Muirrean (pronounced Mwirren in Ireland). I like Muirreann / MWIRRen but not sure if I've got the right end of the stick here. I like it I think.

Do you have the name Ailbhe in Scotland? it's pronounced like Alva, but I like Alba too. That means Dawn in Spanish, is that a Scottish name? Confused

I like Shona.

Should of said last name starts with a C and ends in a Y and lots of L's in it so no names ending in a ee sound.
