Hello - I need Scottish place names that can also be used as baby names. Any ideas??? So far I can only think of:

Isla
Harris
Lewis
Skye
Dundas

We bottled out of Cromarty for DS. It would have been splendid with our surname, along the lines of "Cromarty Crawford" sounds like he should have been born in tweeds and deerstalker.

Some lovely suggestions. I'll add :

Leven (pron. Leeven)

[MikeUniformMike]

and Ross.

Not rtft but Ben, Glen(n) and Craig seem quite normal.

Vaila and Harris are both very nice.

Do not call your child William. Just back from a middle eastern country and if I hear William Wallace one more time I may fcking explode. My dp is William and a Celtic fan?! Took me 4 years to get him a Celtic mug with William on it. Haha. Balamory?

Our surname is the same as a famous singer called Honor. That rules out Iona!

Definitely not Twatt

There are lots of Twatts in Orkney and Shetland.

Speaking of which, I have heard of Orkney being used as a name for a boy. Smaller islands in Orkney that could be used as names include Fara, Sanday (pronounced Sandy), Switha or Swona. A non-Orcadian should be able to pronounce all of those more or less properly. Avoid Orkney names that end in 'say' because some of them would be pronounced 'shay' by the natives.

"Grist Boll". Name of a pub. True story.

Of course you would have to really hate the kid if you called it Grist Boll.

[greencolorpack]

"Corstorphine".

My mum told me about someone who was born in The Sma' Glen. It was a dramatic story, but I can't remember it. She was born in the 1930s. Anyway, she was named Thesma Glen Surname.
