The Scottishest of the Scots
Bit more difficult to do as the stats are different. However these are the names that appear in the top 100 Scottish names but not in England or Wales:
Abbie, Aimee, Alexis, Aria, Arianna, Ayla, Caitlin, Cara, Eilidh, Elise, Iona, Kayla, Lauren, Lena, Mirren, Mya, Neve, Niamh, Orla, Rachel, Rebecca, Robyn, Skye

Madison, Mila & Paige appear on the Scottish and Welsh lists but not English.

Bethany, Eve, Julia, Leah, Sarah, Zara & Zoe appear on the Scottish and English lists but not the Welsh

I'll try and do the boys when I get chance.

It's interesting that my name is no longer on the English most popular list but is on the Welsh most popular list. I've never met a little Welsh girl called 'Madison', it's considered very American around here.

Efa is an interesting one. It essentially looks like a phonetic version of Aoife but it isn't.

Aoife = ee-fa
Efa = Air-vah

DS name has dropped out of the top 20, so am slightly pleased (born late 2013).

Our frontrunner boy's name for this baby is getting higher (currently around the top 80s) on the plus side all our names on the girls shortlist are dropping in popularity (or static).

My name is now top 100 very rare growing up.
My DDs names are higher than expected but not higher than 140 ish
