Scottish boy's name

[YokoOhNo]

I need a classic, Scottish boy's name for unborn DC2. We have a girl's name ready, but are stuck for inspiration for a boy. Something easy to spell and that works in England too, where we are based for a few years.

I don't want anything too difficult to spell, so, much as I like it, Ruardhi is out. And we definitely prefer names that cannot be shortened.

We liked Callum, but English friends have thrown their hands up in horror and muttered the "c" word and that the only they know is Callum Best.

Any ideas?

I always liked Fergus, Broddie, and called my DS Hugh

I have an Alastair growing up in London ( a Jockney). Oddly the most common comment we get is"oh that's a posh name". I don't think so. I liked that it can be Al or Ally as he wishes.

I like Sandy nn for Alexander
Lochlann
Gregor
Conor
Andrew
James
Leith
Not sure what's wrong with Callum, I like it but there seem to be 2 in every class in the school that my DS goes to.

I have a Stewart and a Jamie (that's his given name, not a shortened form of James). I also like Hamish and Coinneach

/gregor, lorcan, douglas, bruce

don't like lewis, fraser or harris. they just seem like the sur name trend. Not scottish.

Coinneach!?!?

Seriously like? Doesn't that mean, ahem? Mathanxiety,step in here.

Sorry if this is obvious, but Andrew is the patron saint of scotland!!

I like Kerr, Innes, Callum and Blair.

Sorry to be obvious, but Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland.

As far as I recall, coinneach means 'rabbit' in Gaelic. My kids are in gem so I'm pretty sure, but they're asleep!

Fergus is great. I like Murdo and Rory too.

I thought it meant something else, you know, poonannnee

Dh is Alastair
Bil is Douglas
Ds is Archie
Bf is Fraser

I wanted Scottish-ish names for my two (DH is Scottish), we ended up with Alexander and Jamie but I also liked Hugh (but not the nickname Shug...), Douglas, Hamish and Angus. We were considering Prentice at one point, from the book Crow Road, but too evocative of Alan Sugar...

Not that i think there will be a ds 2 but if there was he will be Robert/Robbie

Kester? A Scottish variant of Christopher, I think. It's a nice name and easy to pronounce for English people.

Sholto is lovely

Torin
Tiernan

Kyle means strip of land, think kyle of lochalsh and cannot be shortened

Cairn or Munro are mountains

Lewis is very popular atm

I really like Kelvin and Calvin

Lennox

Guthrie

Keir

Clark

Lochie

Boyd

Mac(k)

Logan

Arran

Clyde

Frazer

dont do Angus it is the kind of names DCs get teased for, same goes for Hamish and Malcolm

Callan is lovely - wish I'd called my DS Callan instead of the more popular safe name we opted for!

Alban is my favourite scottish name

Would you pronounce that awlban or ahlban, rubbernecker?

I like Atholl.

All-ban (but I'm not scottish, so they might have other ideas )

I'm scottish, I'd simply say Al-ban.

Don't have Kyle - it's a bit schemey now.....and Frazer should be Fraser, let the Yanks keep the "z"!

We almost went for Cairn but wimped out.

You could also have Moray (Murray) or Nairn.
