Scottish boy shortlist

[scotsmumof1]

I'm 38 weeks and we're still to decide on a name from our list. We love all of them so just want honest opinions on what you think of (if anything) when you hear them! Any suggestions are welcome and bonus points for cute nicknames!
Cairn
Conall
Dougal nn. Dougie
Fraser
Lachlan nn. Lockie
Struan

I like Fraser and Dougal - haven't heard of a Dougal for ages. Donald?

Cairn is a Scottish dog breed. Toto from the wizard of oz was a Cairn Terrier.

I love Struan. What about Euan or Harris?

DS2 was almost a Lachlan, he became a Sullivan instead.

DH is Fraser. My vote is obviously Fraser or Lachlan - can't go wrong with either, although Lachlan is picking up in popularity I think.

How about Nairn instead of Cairn? Arran is lovely too.

Love Fraser from your list, also Angus. Am suggesting Fergus.

Love Fraser, Struan and Conall.
Cairn reminds me of my old dog, Cairn Terrier.

We have a Ruairidh! Was nervous for the same reasons as you, but FB is a wonderfully thing to help folk make sure they spell it right. I love it now! I did love Cairn more, it was my favourite but DH said no!! He is deffo a Ruairidh! Plus his pal is called Cairn so it was meant to be!

Fraser. Lachlan and Dougal are also great. :)

I also like Magnus, Cormag, Alec and Arran.

Have never considered Arran (not a fan of the Aaron spelling), but that really is lovely. Plus my late grandma used to knit beautiful Arran jumpers so would be nod to her too..

I like Cairn.

The meaning is better than a lot of name meanings!

What about

Gordon nn Gordy
James nn Jimmy
Douglas nn dougie
Andrew nn drew
Lewis nn Louie
Harris nn harry
Skye/Skyler
Glen
Clyde
Nevis
Arran
Argyle/Argyll
Mungo
Munro
Murdo
Magnus
Murray
Ross
Mackenzie
Campbell
Crawford
Gregor
Donald
Robert

I really like Arran. Looks and sounds nice

Rowan
Farron

Lachlan (Lachy) is so bloody common (not "low class" common, just popular) in Australia and has been for decades. I know more than I can count.

Love Fraser. Love Douglas, but not Dougall, which sounds like the sort of name my beagle would suit.

Like Hamish also, but again, it's so popular here in Australia, you can't swing a cat without hitting one.

I like Lachlan the best from your list.. My son is called Murray obv Scottish.. I am pregnant with my 2nd and thinking of Finlay or Keir .. :)

Innes; Munro.

Nairn instead of Cairn?
Ramsay
Hugo
Hector
Malcolm
Archie
Fionn (pn Fin)
Fergus

Thorfinn

I love Dougal! Dougie is a really cute nickname too

I love Struan, but outwith your list would add Magnus, Munro, Fergus and Finlay.

My favourite Scottish boy’s name used to be Donald; gone off it for some reason!

Like Lachlan a lot. And Hamish.

Two of my fav Scottish boys names are Sholto and Ossian.

Nairn is a well known brand of oatcakes.

LOVE your list OP. I had a few of these on my list for DS, but only have very distant Scottish ancestry, and DH has none, so they didn't feel right in the end.

Of your suggestions my favourites are Lachlan (lovely name) and Struan (which will always remind me of a man I once met with that name who was fun, gentle, fiendishly intelligent and drop dead gorgeous!) - but all are brilliant names.

All the best for your new DC!

Love all the names on your list, some more really nice and not too popular are:

Muir
Blair
Forbes
Innes
Keir
Niall
Nicol
Ranald

Congratulations

Another Scottish name I love is Tormod.

I really like Torin

What about Kyle
