I need the best Scottish boys name in the world...

[birdofthenorth]

...to counteract the likelihood that his middle name will be -eek- Keith!!!

MN is after FIL (who is lovely, but whose name isn't, & who has no middle name!!).

First name needs to be Scottish as a family tradition. So I need the best, coolest, loveliest Scottish boy's name ever to distract from the awful MN!!

Thank you kindly. Really good ones please!!

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

Lewis and Innes were on my shortlist but I also love Angus

DD is Bess. I reckon it sounds bad alongside the 'Gus names... especially (Aberdeen) Angus -two cow names together!!

Loving Fraser & Lachlan

Aww bird ,Don't say that! My DD is a Cameron, Am hoping he will be dead and forgotten by the time she's older (Wishful thinking)

Hamish & Innes also excellent.

Innes Keith sounds bad though (as do most things followed by Keith!!)

Ok if not Angus, then how about Hamish truly the scottish name to beat all others.

And even, amazingly, goes quite well with Keith

Hamish?

I think Cameron is still fine and an excellent name... unless you & your DH both work in politics, and on the other side

All our friends & colleagues would laugh sadly... bit like calling a Tory baby Miliband!!

Malcolm
Iain
Bruce
Hamish
Tavish
Hector
Gordon
Lennox
Murdo

Menzies
Douglas
Donald
Hugh

Yes I think Hamish Keith sounds pretty good. Which is a great credit to Hamish

Gregor or Fraser. Although any name (within reason) sounds good in a Scottish accent.

Actually Struan is lovely. Would have liked that too but already one in the family. Struan Keith sounds maybe OK?

Hamish
Sholto
Struan
Taidgh

Ninian

Struan is good!

Never heard of Sholto, but quite like it!

I think Hamish, but then i would, my boy is called Hamish.

Others i love: Gregor, Lewis, Fergus, Roddy, Euan

Sholto - though I hear you're more likely to hear it London, than in the Highlands :)

We have an Angus, btw.

Oops - should've read the whole thread.

DS1's mn is Hamish. Love that too.

I like Lachlan a lot, too.

What about Murdo?

Finlay and Angus are my favourites.

oooh i LOVE Murdo but you have to roll the 'r' so it sounds like Taggart (rest his soul) saying 'there has been a murrrrrrrrderrrrr'.

I was overrulled by Dh in calling ds Murdo, so he became Angus

I love Euan.

Iain is the best. And don't anyone dare say it's not, because it's my ds1's name.

Any thoughts on Brodie?

Ossian

Frazer
Innes
Lachlan
Prentice
Alasdair
