"Spirited" Boys Names!

[MsMinx]

Hi folks, long time viewer, first time poster!

Hubby and I have baby number one on the way, we know it's a boy and are looking for a name that is unusual , Scottish and makes a statement (hopefully not that we're alcoholics! Haha).

Anyway, we are both Whisky fans, indeed we met through mutual Whisky Society friends.

With that in mind we were thinking of a Whisky themed name. Now, there are some fairly obvious ones, Ben, Glen, even Moray (pronounced Murray) or Rinnes, but they don't really resonate with our tastes.

We currently have a short list of Lagavulin, Laphroaig, or, if this is too "out there", Peater (I guess an alternative spelling of a classic).

What do you think?

Terrible idea. Second name, at a push

i don't know if I LIKE them, but as a non whisky drinker I wouldn't have got the booze connection at all so you're prob safe in that only fellow whisky lovers will see you as whiskyaholics

I'd avoid anything sold in supermarkets & thus easily recognisable eg laphroig, Jura etc. Bit like calling a kid Jacob's Creek. But talisker is good...

My favourite scotch is Highland Park. How about it? Could call him Kirkwall where it's brewed?

I know an Oban! How about Macallan but shortened to Mac?

Laphroaig the child will now be going to school.

Please stop reviving ancient threads.

Wolfe/ Wolfie
Buchanan (also a marvel reference which thrills me)
Dawson (actually means son of David if that is miraculously your hubbys name)
Macnamara (Mac as a nickname)

Paddy
Jameson

Sorry just noticed this was a zombie thread!!!

Just noticed the date on the original post!! Wonder what the wee ones name is?!

I like Macallan (Mac).

My daughter had a friend at school called Jack and his
Surname was Daniels. The poor child got teased so bad, it
Was beyond a joke. What were his parents thinking??

I would just say, choose carefully, as kids can be cruel, especially
At school.

I like Jamieson actually. Good for a name and I know plenty of Scots called Jamieson (admittedly as a surname).

Innes
Campbell
Atholl

If it really must be whisky maybe Talisker?

Oops! Zombie thread.

I actually know of a little girl called Talisker!
