I'm 39+2 so could have baby any day now. We don't know what we are having but have a couple of safe girls names....boys names are a different story through.

We like a strong Scottish/Celtic name but nothing hard to pronounce or spell.

Euan is probably the the one we both like the most, but I don't like the ambiguity of spelling (Ewan/Euan)

Innes and Struan are both ones that we liked but gone off then liked again. I'm not 100% sure on them.

Callan was a contender for a while but I've gone off of it because I feel it may be confused with Callum a lot OR pronounced Kay-lan

I don't like names that's are OTT Scottish (is that even a thing???) like Hamish, Fergus, Angus etc

So - throw as many as possible at me

Callan is fantastic but please not Cullen as it leads straight into Cullen Skink.

Cohen?

How about;

Killian
Murray
Hugo
Angus
Malachy
Ronan

I'd probably go for Callum over Cullen, which to me sounds more like a surname and I think people outside of Scotland would be a bit confused!

Struan - it's my brothers name and everyone loves it. Would have used it myself if I could! I like Innes but....I know a couple of girls called Innes now which I thought a little strange but might add some confusion if people are using it for both sexes.
