I like Alistair but the oh doesn't.
Struan, not heard that one before but I think I like it.
Jock...that is awesome! Why didn't I think of that? Just need to convince others...

See Donald is a favourite here already, but I want to keep my options open.

Thanks for all these...keep 'em coming!

I love scottish names!

Gregor and Fergus are lovely.

And if you have the nerve, Bruce or Douglas! I also really like Donald.

I have a cousin named Jock (after our grandfather) and it's a great name. Never heard of another (under 70!) but there's one at his school!!

I love Jock, but Americans find it totally hysterical. It sounds good to my ear though.

I love Finlay (I have one) and am warming to Hector, in fact it's now high up on our list.

I like Hugo which sounds Scottish-y to me!

I love Struan wanted it for ds but dh said no. It's the most fab name ever. Not that I am going to ever have another child, but I think I would have thrown a childish strop if dh refused the name again. Xmas Blush

Love Rory but yet to convince DH.

What about Lorne?

auntyfash · 15/12/2010 20:54

I think Lorne sounds too much like Lorna tbh.

Rory's really lovely. I also like Prentice. I think it's Scottish...

Rory's my favourite; we nearly had a little Rory, but I think she would have got some stick at schoolGrin
