Names to go with Innes and Blair

Needing some inspiration for names. We don't know what we are having so looking for boy and girls names.
we already have 2 sons named Innes and Blair. We are Scottish and we would ideally like a Scottish sounding name for our 3rd.

I have thought about the name Lyle for a boy... Only remember hearing one boy called this when I was younger. OH is unsure of the name. He likes MAITLAND!!
I will not be using this name!

So far for a girl, ( not overly concerned about Scottish connections) we have Leah, which is top choice atm, Hollie and possibly Abbie.

Mainly looking for boys names... Any suggestions

😬

Argh... I think I might just be being far to picky but I the only name on the list that would possibly even get a thumbs up from me is Euan.
I absolutely love my boys names MrsBungle. Don't hear them very often. Blair more so than Innes.
I like the name Cameron also but my neighbours boy is Cameron and a friend who had her baby the same time as I had my youngest is called Cameron so not too sure if I'd want to use it or not.

I also like Calum/Callum and did like Campbell until someone I know named their baby this.

Thanks for the help

I think Lyle goes very well with your Son's names.
Not Euan.

I think it is a shame you don't seem to care as much for Scottish connections if baby is a girl. Also confused....why wouldn't you???

I think you should stick to the theme..what about Isla? Possibly one of the most beautiful names ever!

coolpotato · 09/09/2016 21:17

Is Hamish just a bit too contrived? It's a fab name!

What about Corin? Or Donald?

itssquidstella · 09/09/2016 21:20

I like Struan and Corin.

Lewis
Craig
Robbie
Ruairidh
Callum
Jamie
Ewan

Campbell
Rory
Ewan
Murray

I'm also a little bit confused as to why you aren't overly concerned about the Scottish connection for a DD, but I'm sure you have your reasons! If you happen to be looking for Scottish girl names I love Iona.

Hector and Hamish are my favourite Scottish sounding boy names. Innes and Blair are lovely too Smile.

How about Iona for a girl? I used to have a friend with a little sister called Iona and their family was Scottish.

For boys I like Lyle though the only time I've heard it is the name of an acquaintances guide dog (a beauty of a dog, mind you!)

How about:
Stuart
Logan
Evan
Ruari (Irish and Scottish).

Oh and I have a Hollie so do naturally like the name.
