Me and my husband have been talking baby names a lot recently and have gotten into a discussion about how people would cope with Scottish baby names where we live.
My mum's side of the family are from Scotland and we really like a certain few names from there. Ones on the list so far are:
Mhairi
Elspeth (although inevitably they'd probably be called Elsie or Ellie for short)
Iona
The only boy names my partner likes that are of that ilk are Ewan and Rory (he insists it can't be the Scottish spelling), which hopefully wouldn't cause anyone too many headaches where we live!
But anyway, our worry is that, even if we love those names enough to use one of them, we do live in the South West of England and baby would probably grow up here, at least for a good portion of their life - would it be a real pain to pick names like that? What does everyone think?
