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

Oh, and Magnus and Brodie are both great too.

More 'normal' ones are Lewis and Calum.

I like Scottish placenames - islands like Coll make for good names.

Campbell is obviously the best name!
I also love Struan, Drummond, Lochlin (Shetland version of Lachlan)

Finn!

or Glaswegian Shuggie? (Hugh)

Lol, I dont imagine anyone calling their son Shug these days!

Ds is Harris :) clearly the best Scottish name ever.

I would caution against Moray as a first name for Keith, as there is a town called Keith, in Moray District, and if you ever move to the north east people will think he is trying to give his address?

Also Cullen is about 10 miles from Keith on the coast, just so's you know.

hamish.

Rory.

If not that then I too like Fergus, Fraser or Hamish.

Ooh I will look out for Keith next time I am in Moray, Dandy!

Scratches Moray Keith off the list

I knew twin boys named Moray and Nairn.

Haven't noticed Andrew being mentioned. He's our patron saint and I really wanted to use it but alas I've got 3 gorgeous girls and no wee boy!

Also on my list were;

Kyle
Duncan,
Alistair,
Cameron,
Lewis,

Callum,
Rory

Actually think Andrew goes quite well with Keith but obviously depends on your surname

Hector.

Andrew is lovely and potential for nick names- Drew, Andy

Also like
Harris
Stirling
Coll
Arran
Rhuraidh (pronounced roo-ray, not Rory)

Struan.

Duncan, Crawford, Murray, Alistair

Oooh Harris is good

Lorn/Lorne

Hamish.

Hamish is soooo fabulous, it will not matter what the middle name is.

Lachlan, or Lachie for short.

Robbie

Ross
Robbie
Stuart

I have an Alexander, his nn is Sandy.

People do tend to think he's a girl when I tell them his name though.

I have an Alexander so biased. Is 'Rodrey' Scottish, think that is lovely. Also Hector (possibly can only carry off if you're super posh) and Angus.

I think Alistair and Duncan are the best scottish boys names. Also like Rory, Campbell (although admit it does not go with Keith), Ewan and Neil.

Roderick (nn Roddy) is Scottish,I think of Rhodri as Welsh
