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

😬

Fergus?

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.

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!

I came on to offer

Forbes

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)

CousinCharlotte · 12/09/2016 23:29

Hamish
Rabbie
Blair and Cameron, that would be topical.......

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.
