Scottish baby name??

81 replies

Our baby is due in January, not sure if it's a boy or girl and we are struggling to agree on any name...

we have a very scottish surname and DH will only consider a scottish firstname, I don't really see why but I'll go with it for now...

Also, some of the names I like DH thinks are 'Public school' types!! Can't win!

Some names I like [scottish and non-scottish] are:

Finlay
Isaac
Seth
Hamish - maybe
Fraser - not sure

Maisie
Grace
Isobel
Eve

Any other suggestions??
Please help!

Hi - this thread is a little old. If you’re looking for a Scottish baby name, find the most popular here. MNHQ

My husband is not Scottish at all, but is called Angus. When people are introduced to him I reckon at least 50% of them comment on what a great name it is and I agree. Is Clara Scottish? Sounds like it might be and I think it's very pretty.

Doughnutty, I love the name Eilidh but that is name of DH's neice.

I've managed to persuade him we cannot have James as that is his nephew.

DH like Catherine for a girl but I would like something a little more unusual...

My favourite site when I was pregnant was the general register scotland's baby list. To find it I type general register scotland baby names in google. It always comes up with the 2005 list first, but on the left had side if you click on 2008 (2009 not out yet) you will find a baby names news story and what you want is the detailed tables. It's brill. Every name registered in Scotland in 2008 and how many of then there were.

The following are very scottish but may not be to your taste...

Campbell
Fergus
Stewart

Kirsty
Heather
Mairi
