Scottish names - Fiona and Calum?

I like Fiona and Calum. I really like Calum. I know a very cool 20-year-old Fiona. When I first met her about five years ago, I did think it seem a bit dated - it's not a typical name for a 20-something these days. But I do love the sound of it and it is a classic.

I know Scottish siblings called Fiona and Cameron.

I like Fiona, not so keen on Calum. Or Callum for that matter

I like Callum and, as mentioned, Alistair, Fraser and Euan.
I think Fiona did have a peak when we were young (80s baby) but I'd not rule it out though I prefer Catriona and Eilidh you don't have any spelling/ pronunciation issues. I even quite like the anglicised kind of Manx cross Eilish/Ailish. I'm sure many will disagree!
Congratulations OP!

Mmmm, either I'm dull and frumpy or an underused classic...

Depends on the day I guess!

I went to school with a couple of Callums (this spelling), so Calum is familiar without being overly popular. Nice enough.

Fiona is a frumpy, middle aged woman here in Australia. You just wouldn't hear it on someone under 45, or over 65. Not a fan. Also the ogre.

My DH is of Scottish descent and has both of these names in his extended family. I like them both a lot, and definitely prefer Calum with one L, which seems to be more popular in Scotland than it is in England.

Well, as I have a Calum, clearly I love that name. Whilst Fiona wouldn't be my choice, I don't dislike it - there are just other names I like more. Shona, Isla, for example.

Oh dear. My name is dull, dated and of the Sharon and Tracy generation .

You definitely don't get many Fionas around these days. Calum is pretty common though, depends how you feel about that. Nothing wrong with either name though. Although I may be biased about Fiona

Callum is nice but it must be with the 2 L’s

Fiona is a bit meh

I like Erin for a girl

I think I am alone in hating Eilidh. I just hate how it sounds.

I like Fiona. I love Eilidh but I'm not Scottish and live in England and think it is too Scottish to use if you're not.

Fiona is one of those names that isn't the right era for granny chic - so it's a name people of 35-50 are called so hasn't come around again in popularity (and will in 30 years time). I have just such a name - ie uncool at the time, getting more popular for babies now I'm in my early 40s. I've always liked the fact that it's a familiar name (ie everyone can spell it etc) but equally there was never another one in my school etc. At times as a kid I wished I was called joanne or Sarah but I have been happy with it on the whole.

Alison? Not sure if it's strictly Scottish but certainly used more here than elsewhere :)

Callum is the Scottish spelling, Calum is the French spelling.
I love Harris, Finley, Jack, James, Harrison and calan.

Eilidh,, Iona, Skye, Murron, isabel,

Fiona is nice but I also don't know any under the age of 35...

Calum was on our list for a boy and I also felt I liked it but wasn't overwhelmed with it, I really struggled with boys names but my favourite was Fraser.

For girls I like
Eilidh (I'm biased!)
Lorna
Iona (depending on your surname!)
Shonagh
Mhari

Sorry, I think they're awful - I know a toddler Fiona and it just seems so wrong. As someone said upthread, it isn't a granny chic name, it's just dull and dated. I also have a strong dislike of Isla as there are so very many of them.

Flora is lovely though .

All of the boy's names sound like 50-year-old farmers. Brodie is quite nice for girl or boy, and I think Fergus straddles the traditional-but-still-quite-cool quite well.

I like Fiona and Calum.

I also like:

Iona
Morven
Eilidh
Ailsa

Angus
Rory
Harris
Fergus

Morna's lovely. As is Eilidh.

There's quite a few Rhuairidh's around here, but not so many in the south.

Love them both. DS would have been a Calum but it just doesn't suit our surname. My BF is Fiona. She is lovely.
Also love Innes, Thane, Alister and Duncan for boys. Mirren, Blythe and Karina for girls.

Scottish parents I know have children called Campbell, Fraser, Connor, Alexander, Cameron and Iain. Don't know why they all seem to be boys.
I know a couple of Scots called Fiona as well.
Reminds me that when we were lookin to name DS2 most of the names I liked were Scottish and DH asked me what was wrong with a non Scottish name like Andrew!

Euan or Murray?

Eilidh, Shona, Isla and Iona would be my girls choices now.

I think Fiona is pretty dated (and not in a granny chic way - more a Sharon/Tracy era name). There were 12 Fionas in my year at school (I'm pushing fifty) and I don't hear it as a child's name nowadays. But depending of where you live now, it may be different - I think Shrek gave the name a more recent surge of popularity in the US. The male equivalent would be Iain - again all the ones I come across are middle-aged.

Calum is more of a classic name that hasn't gone away, along with Euan, Gregor, Cameron etc.

I came across a little Shona a while ago, it was a lovely change.
