Glaswegian names

[GuatemalanRum]

If you are Glaswegian & born in the 70s or 80s, what names did you hear growing up and what would you/have you named your dcs now?

Dp is Glaswegian which I had hoped would give me free rein to use lovely names such as Fergus, Euan, Douglas, Ishbel, Elspeth.. Sadly when I suggest these he looks at me like I've lost the plot (he claimed Ishbel is what a drunk Scot would say for Isobel ) and wants to call our dc John

I would be grateful for some cultural guidance!

I'm from glasgow and went to school with Angela's/Paul's/ variations of James/Nicola's.

Maybe the only really 'scottish' name I heard a lot of was Sandy short for Alexander.

Now, the baby groups are full of Eva/Sophie/Chloe with only Isla, Mirrin and Iona as the 'Scottish' names for girls.

Boys are Finlay/Fraser/Rowan/angus/Archie which actually thinking sbout it, all seem fairly traditional scottish to me :)

Ishbel or Ishbal is the anglicised version of the Gaelic for Isobel.

I know 3 from ages 17-55 and they're all lovely

It's shortened to Ishi or Isha.

My mum was born at the start of the 70s and is called Faith, her sister is Debbie. I am called Paula and was born at the end of the 80s, my brothers and sisters are Fraser, Callum, Rannoch and Blair.

My children all have very Scottish names :)
