Angus and Innes -too similar?

[Thinkingof4]

hi
I have 3 ds and am pg with dc4. Don't know if this is also a boy but suspect it may be! All our boys have scottish names (we are Scottish) and we need another similar type of name. Ds2 is Angus and one boys name we really like is Innes. Just wondering if people think this is too similar sounding? Thanks in advance for any opinions

Torrin also on the list shepherds though I'm not quite sure on spelling of this. Really like Douglas too glaikit

[GlaikitFizzog]

Ooh torrin is good! I would spell I like you. I would use Doogie as a nn for Douglas! I went to school with a Doogie! He was like the Scott porridge oats man! And played the pipes! I may still be a little bit in love with him :o

Logan and Lachlan are another couple I like!

What are your girl thoughts so far? I am investing too much in naming your child! Perhaps number 2 is on the cards for me!!

I know brothers called Innes & Angus. They are in their 30s. Lovely names.

The 2 Douglas I've known have both been a bit like that -gentle giants who totally suited their names!
I also have one of your L suggestions but will totally out myself if I name all 3 boys on this thread!

Girls names - I love Elspeth, dh loves Morven which I'm less keen on. Also quite like Iona, Una and mirren/muirrean (again ? Spelling ) and eilidh so lots to choose from with girls

Oh my god are we baby naming twins!!

Love Elspeth but has been used by close family already.

Mirren is one of mine along with Mara as Gaelic for the sea/ocean, dh not so keen. Apparently Mara is also a goddess of death and destruction or something! I went to school with a Morven. She wasn't as nice as doogie! I know a Malvine which I think is quite pretty. We have a Mc surname so I'm not sure about alliteration but most of my girls names begin with M! Mairi is anoth

Anyway my baby girl is still imaginary! You have a 50/50 chance of having one or the other very soon!! :o e

We have a few babies with scottish names in the family which rules some of the others out. You definitely need to get on with dc2!!

My boys would have been Mairi or Kirsty had they not been boys. I have a Craig and a Ciar but also liked Gregor, Kerr, Cairn or Struan. Not having any more, but quite taken with Tiernan (B) or Tierney (G) at the moment. Also Merrick (b) or Fallon (g) and quite like Doon for a girl too.

Mirrin is beautiful.

What about Ewan or Euan as nice Scottish names? Love love love Ewan! I think Angus and innes go nicely together btw
