Blair for a girl?

[Lornacharlotte]

Mentioned to my mother I liked Blair for a girls name and she looked at me like I was mad. Anyone else like Blair or am I being daft?

Never seen gossip girl! Didn't realise there was a girl called Blair in it. Came across it searching for Scottish girls names. Had heard of it as a boys name but not as a girls. Just liked it but not sure now if it's associated with an American drama.

It's finished now op, so only people a certain age would make the connection.

The Tony Blair connection is far more off putting for me, personally.

Yeah, its finished. Gossip Girl fans are probably 18-25 now.

I really like it but can't help picturing Tony :( ruined!

I don't think it works well as a girls name - it's a boys name and it's not unisex to me.

It's a bit bleurgh.

I love it but for a boy not girl. It's a well known boys name in Scotland

I like it but too much of a tony connection to me.

What about Adair?

That's a nice unusual Scottish girls name.

Or Bonnie

Or Dallas

Or senga

Oh god no. I'd just think of Teflon Tony I'm afraid. Don't do that to your dd.

It's a no from me on 2 fronts -

a) It is a boy's name and I don't like the (largely US) thing of using boys' names for girls

b) It makes me think of Tony Blair

Adair is on my list too my list too Weatherall

i dont dislike it,fir a boy.its scottish boy name.gossip girl,still on sky etc.
What about iona,skye,catriona,ferguson,riley as girl names

Oh yes adair is great
Not senga,thats a wee scottish wummin with varicose veins and cats name

Was Senga only popular in the Southern areas of Scotland? I'm in the NE and never heard of it up here.

Who the hell thought spelling Agnes backwards was a good idea for a name anyway?

Senga,is an auld wummin name.im glasgow dont know if it was borders name?

Doe, Adair, a female dair...

Clever!

Ailsa?
Kyla?
Iona?
Bridie?
Sheena?
Heather?

Bridie is a pastry fae greggs,that makes you cough

We could start up another dreadful old Scottish tradition of putting "ina" on the end of any man's name to make a girl's one.

Around here we have had Alexina, Jamesina, Williamina, Hughina etc etc - admittedly they are all either in their 80s or dead by now!

Are you naming a baby or a dog?

I like it!

Scottishmummy where on earth is 'Ferguson' a first name, let alone a girls first name.

OP if you are looking for a Scottish girl's first name there are loads of great choices, I'm not sure that Blair is one of them personally. Up to you though obvs.

The only time I've ever heard the name Blair for a girl was in the film Christmas With The Kranks.

It's also the sound you make when you vomit.
