We're due a little girl and are struggling to settle on a name. Our 2 year old is Hamish. We like fairly traditional but not too popular names. My partner's Scottish but I'm not - I think a very Scottish name for DD could be overkill. Any ideas?!

Thank you for all the great suggestions! In terms of focusing on my husband's heritage - that was my point. I don't feel the need to have a 'super Scottish' name to match Hamish. Especially as mil said Hamish is a name English people use if they want to be Scottish Hmm

Do the kids have a Scottish surname too? If so, no need for his heritage to be given all the focus.

Yes, you need the Scottish Isobel.

My first thought was Ruth.

FierceBarrie · 20/06/2021 18:13

It has to be Isobel, not Isabelle.

HollowTalk · 20/06/2021 17:48

And another one, Flora.
I think Flora is my favorite so far. I also like Alice from the list above.
