Roscoe.

posh but not pretentious
unusual but not wtf
quirky like 0 and 0
Scottish

Lysander is nice but a bit poetic. I see his long fingers and think how beautiful they must look playing the piano. I bet he always carries foolscap and a biro around, to jot down his thoughts.

Campbell is ok. Bit too soupy for me! sorry. I don't like Erin for the same reason.

If not Roscoe, then Bruce (after Parry not springsteen) and Donald or Victor. Victor not Scottish, but it has a lot of good attitute. Not bad attitude!

Did you go off Grey short for Gregor?

well that's fair enough - it came to me while I was watching Annie Lennox on the One Show and the only person I could think of was Lennox Lewis as well!

frazzledoldbag · 11/03/2009 10:31

nah, makes me think Lennox Lewis immediately. Not keen, sorry.

thumbwitch · 10/03/2009 22:27

frazzled, what about Lennox?

dizzydixies · 10/03/2009 14:11

oh how lovely! you'll need to wave hard though as we'll be in Ireland

Fimbo · 10/03/2009 14:08

We are going up for Easter, I shall wave in your direction Dizzy. My pil live underneath the railway bridge (they are not trolls, honest!)down near the stoney beach.

dizzydixies · 10/03/2009 14:04

Fimbo, we're off the bride the other way but in wormit a lot

Fimbo · 10/03/2009 13:56

I went on my first ever Brownie holiday to Crail.

Fimbo · 10/03/2009 13:54

Just checking - it was/is Harris Academy in Dundee? (can't imagine many schools with the name Harris).

I have migrated to the dizzy heights of Norwich. My parents live behind the Invercarse Hotel and my pil in Wormit

dizzydixies · 10/03/2009 13:51

we were there last week before going to Cambo

frazzledoldbag · 10/03/2009 13:47

Ooooh, very nice. You don't want to buy a house in Crail by any chance then? (am building there at the mo).......

dizzydixies · 10/03/2009 13:42

I DO!!! well, across the bridge

frazzledoldbag · 10/03/2009 13:32

oh well fimbo - disappointed now - was having fun trying to work out who you might be that I might know! Do you still live round here then or have you migrated?

Fimbo · 10/03/2009 13:27

I would have left by the time he started Frazzled, so wouldn't know him.

Murray

MUM41plus5 · 10/03/2009 13:25

a few others with Scottish origins we considered were...

Iagan (pronounced Egan)
Leathan
Kade
Calan

Some of these were chosen as much for the meaning as the name which I think is always good if a name has personal meaning.

LynetteScavo · 10/03/2009 13:21

Lochie? - is that how you spell it?

dizzydixies · 10/03/2009 13:20

so he was lynette - the dim one bless him!

LynetteScavo · 10/03/2009 13:19

Wasn't Roscoe the policeman in Dukes of Hazard?

MUM41plus5 · 10/03/2009 13:13

frazzledoldbag be warned as if they live up to their names (as mine do) the meaning of Regan is little ruler/little king

dizzydixies · 10/03/2009 12:59

was just coming on to post Brodie but see you've beaten me to it

whats your surname or a similar sounding out

frazzledoldbag · 10/03/2009 12:43

Archie was what our DD2 would have been (that or Munro) but I've sort of gone off them both now. And also it's like Brodie with an 'ie' ending and with our surname I'm not sure.

frazzledoldbag · 10/03/2009 12:42

Hi mum41 - Fraser is on our list already, but again we have a family member of that name so it's only a maybe. Hadn't thought of Regan though....

MUM41plus5 · 10/03/2009 12:41

Oh, and I like Archie too

MUM41plus5 · 10/03/2009 12:39

Hello

just thought I would pop in as relatively new to MN and liked the sound of someone with a penchant for Scottish names like myself and just couldn't believe the last post...
frazzledoldbag and thumbwitch I have twin boys and we wanted Scottish names as DH is Scottish and although we like Brodie as a first name it wouldn't have really worked as that is our surname but we did eventually decide on Fraser and Regan

frazzledoldbag · 10/03/2009 12:34

What do you think about Brodie with an 'ie' ending surname then.....is that a no? Because I could get away with using Brodie as the mum isn't a close friend of mine and we'd prob only see her a couple of times a year or so?
