I’m after some good Scottish names

I love eilidh but I’m worried about it being too popular and I love marsaili, but I’m worried about it being too unusual.

I am in Scotland in the highlands so no worries there.

Thanks.

I really llike the meaning of the name Aodh. but not sure I could call a child Ay lol. It means fire.

I really like Ailsa and Ealasaid. Ealasaid works as a family name is the english version. But i feel like i need something more prouncucable lol

Marsaili is gorgeous.

I love Scottish names with the proper spelling but our Scottish link is grandparents and we live in the South East so we couldn't make it work.

Both sexes. Just didn’t think of any boys names when I posted.

Is it just girls names?
I love Marsaili as well and also Miren.
Also don’t mind Iona and Islay.
