Scottish girls name that's a bit feisty?

[Thinkingof4]

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!

I second Ishbel. Worked with a lovely one.

And please not Isla. So popular now, they are everywhere.

Joyce , I think is scottish!Joy.

names of rivers can be nice; e.g Cree, Doon, , and I cant think of any more!

[AitchTwoOhOneTwo]

no Mhairi, it's a bit of a Gaidhlig spelling mistake, that one. Mairi's nice, though. i think i like Elspeth best.

I thought Merida too turnthatfrown

I really like eilish but ds3 is hamish so def too similar sounding!

Fiona is good, will add to short list. Esme I also love but it doesn't really sound right with our surname unfortunately

I appreciate all the suggestions, I'm sure if we have a girl it will be one of the names on this thread!

Keep 'em coming please

I wouldn't mess with someone called Morag.

Elspeth is unbelievably wet

Merida made me smile, but I couldn't name a child after a film!! Definitely along the right lines though

Fiona is good . Strong, sensible, clever but undeniably feminine. Also love Morag, Shona and Ishbel (Tish) too. Will echo other posters who've said that Isla is super-popular. I live in Canada and there are lots of little Islas here too...

I have a very feisty Elspeth Iona! Also another Scottish Amex daughter but don't want to out myself fully!

[Wandastartup]

Sorry named!

Catriona (catreena not catreeohna)
Kirsty
Rowan (to rhyme with cow not mow)
Mairi
Moira

If you like Isobal, how about Isa after my scottish grannie (ize-uh)?

[Mehrida]

Another vote for Fiona. Although I do know a couple of (adult) Morags who are both good fun but nobody would dare mess with!

My granny was Elspeth. Pronounced Elspet though. Girly? My gran was knee high to a grasshopper but kicked ass when need be.

Moyra, Morna, Rhoda (think its Scots) Rhona, Morag, Aillie

[BeaWheesht]

Ds and dd both have very Scottish names.

On our list for dd were:

Mirren
Ealasaid
Mairead
Ishbel
Elspeth (love)

[BeaWheesht]

Oh and Flora but other people's opinions put us off...

[TolliverGroat]

I know a small and extremely determined Elspeth.

[MaryKatharine]

Lots of good ideas. What about Margaret? I know a little Maggie and think its lovely.

[Thinkingof4]

tolliver I can imagine having a wee one like that given ds2 and ds3's personalities!
