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

😬

For girls I like Mairi, Lorna, Ailsa, Vaila and Alba.

Munro. I knew a chap called this and I always liked it. It was a family name I think, not for the mountains. I also like Douglas with your other choices, and Rory.

Great name - and Lemon got there first.

Tyree for a girl. ( is that how it's spelt? I only know it from the Shipping Forecast but I do know someone whose daughter is called it too)

I just learned on another thread that whereas Seamas is Gaelic for James, Hamish is its vocative case so should only be used to address him directly!

The normal Scottish spelling is Lyall, I think. Tis a nice name.

Blair Atholl, as previous poster hinted, is the name of a village with a big and very touristy castle.

PLEASE not Talisker or Laphroiag or any other whisky names. They are brands, not personal names. It would be like calling a child 'Chardonnay'.

Phyllida is Greek, not Scottish. A nice name, however.

If you'd like 'Ailie' as mentioned by previous poster to be Scottish, then it should be Eilidh (Gaelic for Helen/Ellen). It's very, very popular.
Leah (Biblical) and Layla (Arabic) as suggested by posters above are not traditionally Scottish. Similarly, Carys/Cerys is Welsh.

You cannot have a Blair and an Atholl!!!

I like Lyle. I know of one and it's a good wee boys name. What about Kyle as an alternative?

What about...
Kerr
Archie
Dallas (no joke it's actually a really old Scottish name. There is an alternative spelling I think of Dalys - or something similar)
Rannoch
Iain
Duncan
Ross
Fergus
Angus - Gus for short

I like the gaelic names for girls like Eilidh and Mhairi.
Others...
Maisie
Elspeth
Ailsa
Nora
Corrie
Kirsty
Kirstin
Shona
Morna
Morven
Ina
Isobel
Aggie/agnes
