Sister for Archie with a very Scottish surname

DD will be nameless at this rate so I need a nice name which will go with our mc Scottish surname and sits nicely with Archie.
So far I like holly and Isla and dh likes Mary.

Any advances? Mary reminds me of an old aunt. Holly... not sure if a summer baby should be named with a christmassy name?

What do you all think? I love Molly but dh vetoed as had a dog called this.

I love Alison. Allie, Ali is so cute and never used anymore either. I have never met one under the age of 30!

I do know lots of Ionas and Isla (very popular at the moment). Also know two Maisies.

What about Ellis? It goes quite well with Mcsomethings

smogwod · 20/02/2012 20:05

Alice or Harriet?

I have a dd Kirsty, she was nameless for 3 days, then suddenly after saying the name I read in a name book, that was it, it really suited her, and not so common for her age group (10). Bonus she loves it too. Our surname, although not Mc begins with M.

I second the poster that Fiona is due a come back. Very pretty and timeless.
