Scottish boy's name suggestions please

[ItsMeYourCathy]

My granny was from Shetland and has passed away now. She was very proud of her Shetland heritage and so is my mum. I'd like to give my eagerly anticipated son a Scottish middle name to honour his (rather diluted now!)background.

The first name we've chosen is Nathaniel and our last name starts with P. I asked my mum for family names and none of them were suitable.

I quite like Hamish.

Suggestions please, especially from Scottish ladies who know that the names are Scotch and not just 'Celtic'

Thanks a lot xx

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

Actually, Lerwick makes a not too bad name itself

Nathaniel Lerwick P..

Alick

Murray! (I have one).

Ian/ Iain is very user friendly too.

I have a scrumptious little Ewan who is 1/2 Scottish... We spelt it the anglicised way as thought would be easier and more readily pronounceable in England! (Euan being more of a Scottish spelling I think)

I have an Archie, my Dad is Alistair, my Grandfather Douglas and two old 'loves' called Hamish & Magnus!

I think Magnus is my favourite, but solely because of name assocation - he was gorgeous!!

My favourite Shetland name is Thorfinn.

Monroe!

Monroe! - as in Marilyn?

if you mean the hill, it's Munro :o

Scott
Keir
Lindsay

As others have said, it's traditional in Scotland to give the baby the mother's maiden name as a middle name. My DS has my maiden name as his middle name.

You could use your granny's name as a middle name.

Sorry yes I meant Munro. Twas late when I posted.

Tait, Gray, Arcus.

Struan, I suggest Struan :o.

I grew up in Orkney - lots of Scandinavian names there like:

Sigurd
Thorfinn
Erland
Magnus

Shetland is even more Norse!

Alan
Alec
Craig

Seamus?
