I like the names Owen and Quinn (thoughts?) but neither of Scottish origin so am also looking for any suggestions for a gender neutral / masculine leaning name from closer to home

Why do you want it neutral ?

AnneKipankitoo · 25/03/2024 19:13

I know a male Rowan

I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant and we're having an identical discussion! Cameron is my absolute fave, but DH taking some convincing.

He loves Macaulay, but I just can't see by Home Alone 😂

How can a name be both masculine and gender neutral?!

HoneyButterPopcorn · 25/03/2024 19:01

I’m Scottish and was at school with both sexes of Rowans. Never met a female Robin though.

rowan? I’m sure I’ve met both sexes…

I'm Scottish and would assume Rowan was a girl's name, and now that I live in England it seems only used by boys.

Blair
Cameron
James (arguably)

Hamish, Angus, Jamie, Sholto, Douglas.
