Does anybody have any suggestions for Scottish baby names? We live in England but would love a nod to my heritage. I really like Murdo but DH doesn't actually believe it's a real name (sigh) and had pretty much decided on Elspeth if we have a girl but have now realised Elsie might be a bit overused!?! I'd love something uncommon but also traditional....any ideas?

Hi - this thread is a little old. If you’re looking for a Scottish baby name, find the most popular here. MNHQ

My dh wanted murdo but only so he could announce "There's been a Murdo" in a Taggart-sequel voice at the birth. It is a good name though.

What about Munro?

Thanks, I do love Murdo but just know it will never happen!

I love Morven for a girl!! Had forgotten that one! Morag is also really pretty.

Kaumana- how are you pronouncing Lachlan? Lach, or Loch?

Murdo is a great name and very Scottish, several in our family. Kirsty is good Scottish girl's name and not very common.
