Stuck for (Scottish but not necessarily) boy name.

[BaldHedgehog]

DC2 is due in a few weeks time (don't know what we're having) and I'm stuck for a boys name.DH has named DS mainly because he rejected EVERY SINGLE NAME that I had on my list.As the result both of DS's names came from DH.I agreed on DS's names because I was fed up with the fact that all of the names chosen by me were rejected and I had nothing against the names that DH offered (I neither liked them or disliked them,they suit DS so no regrets here).

Now I said to DH that it's my turn to name DC2 and because I didn't make him any problems naming DS I'd expect him to exchange the same courtesy to me.He was a bit taken aback but tough.

Names that were on my list before DS was born (all vetoed by DH):

Allister/Alasdair
Calum
Colin
Conrad
Craig
Felix
Fergus
Finlay
Graham
Grant
Gregor
Harold
Kenneth
Liam
Logan
Magnus
Marcus
Murray
Neil/Niall
Robin
Ross

Names we can't use:

Alexander
Andrew
Angus/Innes
Ian/Iain
William
finishing with "an" e.g. Jonathan,Tristan

If anybody could give me some suggestions I'd be really grateful as I look at boys names every couple of days and can't find anything that i really like.Many thanks :)

Lawrence nn Lawrie
Fergus
Daniel
Jamie
Graham
Scott
Diarmid/Dermot
Hugh/Hughie
Archie

Shame Magnus is out

Munro
Rannoch
Stuart
Arran
Elgin
Thorfinn

And I am the last person alive it seems who still likes Malcolm

Oh Montgomery nn monty

Hedgehog Your comment made me wonder, so I looked it up and there were indeed quite a few baby girls named after Scottish islands in 2013: Ailsa, Harris, Gigha, Iona, Islay, Rona, Skye and Tiree. There were also girls named after other Scottish places - Brora, Corran, Elgin, Waverley - and after more distant locations, including Eire, Erin, Italia, London, Texas and Rome.

If you or DH like mountains, could you go for Ben?

I had to veto Ben in my house as OH was insisting on spelling it Beinn.

Does it matter what he vetoed or rejected with DS it's your turn this time.

So from your original list Niall, Finlay and Ross?

I like Arran and Ruaridh. Both scottish and fairly normal.

Sorry just read you can't have a name ending in an, apologies!

Stewart, Murdo, Murdoch, Severin..?

Durness? I've been there but never got to Smoo Cave or Cape Wrath :)

Donkeys, i had a look at my first list and tried to choose something but was put off the first time with DH refusal and now every name I look at doesn't feel right. Sigh.

Thank you very much for the suggestions, will have a look at the names again and again and again

Feels sometimes so stupid when the name i like isthe name of PIL's dog or a neighbour who gives us a grief.
