For both boy or girl. I know it seems to be more popular for girls but I think it sounds unisex

I also immediately think of the cheap hifi I had as a teen. Sorry.

I immediately thought of the cheap cassette player I had in the 80s. Sorry.

I like it for a girl.

It means Scotland in Gaelic and sunrise in Spanish.

It's used as a feminine form for white in Latin, usually in the naming of white flowers.

It means dawn in some languages

Love for both girl or boy, id like to think more people recognise it as Scotland rather than tv make

I prefer Alma

It does mean Scotland, but it's also a budget brand of electronics so I wouldn't.

As a boys name I love it.

It's a cheap brand of electronics, isn't it?

And also a rather clunky sounding girls' name. I can't imagine it on a boy, it's not unisex.
