Favourite Scottish names

[mintich]

My parents are Scottish and we would like to have a Scottish name for our little one( either first name or middle) what are your favourite Scottish or Gaelic names?

Eilidh or Eilish are both very pretty, along with Lorna and Kirsty.

For boys my choices would be Ross, Duncan, Jamie or Finlay.

I'm a Scot but didn't choose any Scottish names for my two!

Flora and Fergus

Blair

Morgen
Catriona (pronounced Cat-Reena not Cat-Ree-Oh-nah )
Elspeth
And yes to Flora too!

Hamish
Angus
Ruaraidh
Alistair

Morven!!

Not Morgen!!

We did the same, we have a Cameron James William

Struan, Blair

Our son is called Glen. He loves his name because no one else is called it!

Fergus, Angus and Hamish for a boy
Isla for a girl

Eilidh, Eilish,Isla, Ailsa are all very common now round here. Know quite a few older Kirstys but it seems to be out of favour with little ones.

I love Lachlan for boys, and there are quite a few Hamish, Fergus, Ruaridh,Angus where we are. Personally not keen on Cameron, Scott,Calum, Stewart etc
Jamie is kind of upper class Scottish ( and ruins the lovely name James)

Girls:
Blythe
Eilidh
Kirstene
Fiona
Mhairi (Varry)
Mirren

Boys:
Duncan
Calum
Fergus
Innes
Finlay

Isla and Struan.

Marsali is pretty and so is Fiona, once virtually ubiquitous, not so much now. For a boy, Hector or Hamish or Innes.

Did not know that Marsali was Scottish - you can miss these things if you live in Scotland!

I love Campbell.

Marsali is a form of Margery I think, and so much more pretty.

Iona, Eilish and Orla.

Hamish, Oisín and Shea.

My brother is an Innes, the only one I know. Have always loved it.

My favourites are Alastair/Alasdair and Bonnie

Keir

Kirsty, Fergus, Angus, Rhona, Corrie, Archie love them all.

I love Ivor and Angus, both vetoed by DH 🙄🙄😢

Fairly certain Oisín and Orla are Irish, not Scottish

Fraser
Greer

How is Struan pronounced?

Lochlan, Malcolm (or Callum). Dh didn't like these for boy. I'd have loved them

Eilidh, Isla, Iona for girl.
