Are these nice names?

For a girl I love Morven. For a boy I love Cillian or Fergus.

I'm only 8 weeks pregnant so very aware I'm getting way ahead of myself.

Are these nice names?

I'm on the East Coast, but I confess I've never know a Cillian in my 50 years in Scotland! My neighbour is Morven and she's lovely, and Fergus will aways be a strong boy's name.

Personally, I like Isla and Lorna for girls, Atholl and Magnus for boys.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

We are both Scottish but my husband has irish relatives. My DD has an irish name so I'm not concerned whether the name is Scottish or Irish sounding. I think they all work well together.

Fergus is awful I'm afraid.

Very popular name where I live. I think it is lovely.

lazymare · 07/01/2019 12:06

See - even my phone doesn't recognise it. Morven.

lazymare · 07/01/2019 12:05

Morgen is a bit 1970s IMO.

RedDwarves · 07/01/2019 08:54

Not a fan of Morven.

Cillian and Fergus are nice.

GenericUsername101 · 07/01/2019 08:09

Love Morven and Cillian :-)

moredoll · 07/01/2019 05:40

I love Morven (and Morvern). Prefer Cillian to Fergus. How about Tavish?

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 07/01/2019 05:05

Fergus is awful I'm afraid. The others are ok.

WhirlieGigg · 07/01/2019 04:58

Not my taste. I’d assume Cormac and Cillian were Irish.

Astronica · 07/01/2019 04:31

All great names! Of the boy names Fergus is a favourite of mine.

SumAndSubstance · 06/01/2019 21:57

I like all of them! Cillian is the one that least says 'Scottish' to me (my first thought would be Irish) if that's any consideration, but it's a lovely name.

Peachbubble · 06/01/2019 20:51

I like Morven, and prefer Cillian to Fergus

17caterpillars1mouse · 06/01/2019 20:39

Love Morven!

Really like Fergus. Cillian not so much

LearningMySelfWorth · 06/01/2019 19:50

I know both a Morven and Fergus. Both are 19/20 and at uni. Both lovely people. I really like the name Cillian but I'd spell it Killian, but that's just personal preference.

YahBasic · 06/01/2019 19:39

Love Morven and Cillian.

Also adore Cormac.

GemmeFatale · 06/01/2019 19:38

Love Cillian. Like the other two.

daisypond · 06/01/2019 19:36

I like them all, but particularly Morven and Fergus.

Brittanyspears · 06/01/2019 18:50

Oh Lachlan is lovely! There just doesn't seem to be a boys name that I love in the same way as I love Morven. I didn't find out what I was having last time but tempted this time.

Not overly keen on Fergus but love the other two

CrockOfTheNorth · 06/01/2019 17:45

I love Lachlan. That's a proper West coast name.

Mwnci123 · 06/01/2019 17:42

I like them all.

NaToth · 06/01/2019 17:39

Another vote for all three. Love Morven particularly.

ForAMinuteThere · 06/01/2019 17:36

Yes, all are lovely.
