DD will be born in Scotland.
We have a few name combinations already (that I have asked about before) but I quite like the idea of having a name linking her to her birthplace.
I like Eilidh, but sadly my accent butchers it!
Also really really like the name Alba...

I wouldn't say they were 18/19th C names. I know lots of women called Murdina, Donalda, Normana, Malina, Dolina and so on. I even know Neilana and Roderickina. Most of them go by Ina or Dina or some other shortened version. They do suggest a boy would have been infinitely preferable!
