As in Morayshire, not a place I know. But Moray or Murray could be nice.

Glaikit interesting that you put Jura as a girls name. I know a boy called Jura. Smile Smile

Isla is Islay, in the context of Scottish islands. And whisky (it's my middle name). My sister's middle name is Iona, and I always like that they match.

Hopefully · 31/05/2013 19:55

Oh, and we had a dog called Benbecula, Ben for short.

Yama mine too! Every time we drive past it I really want to go and see what's there.

emacp · 31/05/2013 20:00

I hope op realises a lot of the posters here are taking the proverbial and that many of the suggestions are ridiculous

farmersdaughter · 31/05/2013 20:00

Gla don't get your post?

Morayshire is a place the county is Moray. Suggested Murray as in the surname alternative to Moray.

Yama · 31/05/2013 20:06

Don't do it Foxy - you will be disappointed (probably).

sparrowfart23 · 31/05/2013 20:07

If a were a boy, I would have been Forbes (a family name, but it's also a place).

JollyOrangeGiant · 31/05/2013 20:11

I don't think Morayshire is a place. It is just Moray.

I love Forbes. DS has a name on one of these lists. DC2 will possibly have a Scottish placename if they're a boy.
