I'm 39+2 so could have baby any day now. We don't know what we are having but have a couple of safe girls names....boys names are a different story through.

We like a strong Scottish/Celtic name but nothing hard to pronounce or spell.

Euan is probably the the one we both like the most, but I don't like the ambiguity of spelling (Ewan/Euan)

Innes and Struan are both ones that we liked but gone off then liked again. I'm not 100% sure on them.

Callan was a contender for a while but I've gone off of it because I feel it may be confused with Callum a lot OR pronounced Kay-lan

I don't like names that's are OTT Scottish (is that even a thing???) like Hamish, Fergus, Angus etc

So - throw as many as possible at me

Euan is lovely, stick with that! Even the simplest names can get mispelled sometimes

Fraser or Lachlan?

Like the name Cullen but id be careful of the teen vampire movement that was Twilight- they are all Cullen's

Hmm... Rory is one I love - there's another way to spell it but I can never manage it - ruaridh? Something like that!

Also Lachlan/lochlan
Dylan if you fancy something a bit Welsh

I heard of a baby called Cullen recently which may fit. Irish, named after a warrior.
