Hi
I'm due dc4 in 2 weeks, we have 3 boys with good strong Scottish names and have a couple of boys names we like if we have another boy, but are struggling a bit to agree on a girls name (don't know what we are having)
Names we are considering include Morven (dh's favourite but I'm not sure, Elspeth (I like this but ?too girly/ lispy), Isobel/ Ishbel (same issue)

I would appreciate any other suggestions or opinions on those names. We definitely don't want anything frilly, but something with a bit of oomph, so she can compete with her 3 big brothers!

Thanks for your help!

The feistiest Scottish girl I know is called Una, cool name I think.

Just updating to let you know we had a girl and decided she was definitely a Morven! All 9lb 5oz of her Grin
thanks for helping us decide.
I think sometimes you just can't decide till you actually meet your baby

Merida is so nice! Shame everyone would say 'ah, from Brave'.
Elspeth is fab too.
Don't like Isobel, it's ubiquitous these days.

Funnily enough a couple of the boys names are in Brave too! Ds2 has the horse's name I think Grin, and I think one of the wee brothers has ds3's name

I have a Bridget who is almost 4. I know its Irish rather than Scottish, but she is one feisty monkey.
And someone mentioned Saoirse? I love that name; means freedom. Gorgeous name.

But I must say I thought Merida when I read the thread title Grin

Mine is 6 Mortified. I think it's a lovely name but she does get called Megan at school which is annoying!
