Hi Guys :)

Just looking for some help on choosing a baby name! We do not know gender so coming up for both and ideally would love for it to be a Scottish name!

Any suggestions much appreciated :)

Many men’s names shortened to -y or -ie on the end

eg Roddy, Stevie, Craigie, Cammy ( shortened from Cameron)

Morven
Margaret
Graeme ( for a girl)

If you like the vintage vibe, many boys’ names with ina/ena/a/ i n e on the end and then nn ‘Ena’.

eg Hubertine
Davidina
Andrewina
Walterina
Ranolina
Robina
Donaldina
And my particular favourite
Colina

Others, ( yes I am doing work on girls’ education in Edinburgh at the end of the C19th and beginning of the C20th!)
