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

😬

I love Euan, Struan, Iona. Corin is a great name! This was one of not many that dh didn't veto if we had a boy.
Isla is a bit popular I think. Hamish is good too. Aisling is pretty?
I think any of these would go well with Innes (love this name!) and Blair.
Not fond of Lyle, I'm not convinced it goes. I think every other little boy is called Rory, Finlay or Callum (in Scotland) at the moment.

You can't have a Blair and a Cameron.

And now tinklypoo has reminded me, I love Mirren, but was also vetoed by DH! Admittedly you might want the Gaelic spelling or everyone might think you're tremendous footie fans, but...

What about Cora for a girl? Not a Scottish name but would be lovely with Innes and Blair.

Atholl? I think Innes, Blair and Atholl sounds pretty awesome. I have a Logan but don't think that's as good a fit with your two. We are having DS2 and wondering about Brodie, Duncan, Finlay, Douglas, Adair.

Another one thinking it's a shame not to use a Scottish name for a girl - plenty lovely ones out there! I think Elspeth is due a come back :)

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

I think lyle is great and goes with your other names

Merryn is a nice girls name that goes (not sure if it's Scottish? )
