DH’s family are Welsh, mine are Scottish (although I was brought up in SE England). Our son is Elis (Welsh) and so I’m looking at Scottish names for baby boy number 2. Please share with me your favourites ☺️

Findlay (or Finlay - definitely prefer the 'ay' spelling, I've only seen the 'ey' ending used in England).

@Hatty65 Ruairidh and Finley are on my list. Giving myself away here, but my name ends in a ‘dh’ and it’s a pain tbh 😂 I’ve seen the spelling ‘Ruairi’, but not sure if that’s acceptable or makes it not traditionally Scottish then? Also I’ve been seeing ‘Finlay’ as the Scottish spelling, but I prefer the spelling with an e. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

@Justanothermum9421 I find boy’s names so difficult!! It was tricky just coming up with one for the first 😅

No idea, as if I'm being honest I'm just not a fan of boys names in general. But we are expecting second baby boy and husband is Scottish so he would like something Scottish - following for any interesting ideas that may pop up! We haven't been able to agree on anything yet...
