Names to go with Innes and Blair

Needing some inspiration for names. We don't know what we are having so looking for boy and girls names.
we already have 2 sons named Innes and Blair. We are Scottish and we would ideally like a Scottish sounding name for our 3rd.

I have thought about the name Lyle for a boy... Only remember hearing one boy called this when I was younger. OH is unsure of the name. He likes MAITLAND!!
I will not be using this name!

So far for a girl, ( not overly concerned about Scottish connections) we have Leah, which is top choice atm, Hollie and possibly Abbie.

Mainly looking for boys names... Any suggestions

😬

Trossachs.

Got to declare I have a very handsome Hamish who would've liked to be called Finn!
Gregor
Murdo
Brodie

For girls with Scottishness, I love Leah, Shona, Ailie, Catriona, Isla, Iona, Isobel, Marnie, Skye

Atholl? I think Innes, Blair and Atholl sounds pretty awesome. I have a Logan but don't think that's as good a fit with your two. We are having DS2 and wondering about Brodie, Duncan, Finlay, Douglas, Adair.

Another one thinking it's a shame not to use a Scottish name for a girl - plenty lovely ones out there! I think Elspeth is due a come back :)

Ooh yes, I like Kester.

Also Struan and Gavin.

What about Cora for a girl? Not a Scottish name but would be lovely with Innes and Blair.

MrsBungle · 09/09/2016 21:48

Keir? That's another name I loved.

coolpotato · 09/09/2016 21:47

Ha ha Albert, good point! Grin

Coldhandscoldheart · 09/09/2016 21:46

And now tinklypoo has reminded me, I love Mirren, but was also vetoed by DH! Admittedly you might want the Gaelic spelling or everyone might think you're tremendous footie fans, but...

albertcampionscat · 09/09/2016 21:45

You can't have a Blair and a Cameron.

Coldhandscoldheart · 09/09/2016 21:44

I love Euan, Struan, Iona. Corin is a great name! This was one of not many that dh didn't veto if we had a boy.
Isla is a bit popular I think. Hamish is good too. Aisling is pretty?
I think any of these would go well with Innes (love this name!) and Blair.
Not fond of Lyle, I'm not convinced it goes. I think every other little boy is called Rory, Finlay or Callum (in Scotland) at the moment.

Oh and I have a Hollie so do naturally like the name.

SarcasmMode · 09/09/2016 21:35

How about Iona for a girl? I used to have a friend with a little sister called Iona and their family was Scottish.

For boys I like Lyle though the only time I've heard it is the name of an acquaintances guide dog (a beauty of a dog, mind you!)

How about:
Stuart
Logan
Evan
Ruari (Irish and Scottish).
