[mintich]

Angus

Angus - beef, still quite nice name though
Cameron - David, surname
Fergus - OK but makes me think of fur
Kelvin - not keen
Milo - Tweenies
Magnus - a good strong name
Oliver - quite nice
Rory - Stewart (politician I don't like)

Rory is lovely, as is Angus.

Not so keen on Milo or Kelvin

Angus - Beef
Cameron - I quite like this one
Fergus - Not a fan at all
Kelvin - Unit of temperature
Milo - Mid sized dog
Magnus - Bloke from Scandinavia
Oliver - Cheeky chap who watches a lot of football
Rory - Trusty middle aged handyman

You’re Scottish.

I don’t love our babes, though (sorry 😞)

I’m Irish abd if I were going to go down the cultural route, I’d want something more authentic and stsvdiut. Cameron for example has been completely colonised by American and English people to the extent that it doesn’t really feel Scottish.

Rory is too anglicized (perhaps bias, as I like the Irish Ruiairi better).

Kelvin is awful. Just horrible.

I don’t personally like Angus or Fergus, but they’re the best of the bunch.

our babes = your names

Angus - Macfadyen who played Robert the Bruce.
Cameron - David.
Fergus - The neighbours annoying cat.
Kelvin - Grove art Gallery.
Milo - Nothing really it’s more of a dogs name.
Magnus - Mrs Honey from Matilda’s dead dad.
Oliver - & Company.
Rory - My cousin has a big black hairy dog called Rory 🤷🏻‍♀️

Angus - lovely !
Cameron - nice
Fergus - not keen, older man's name to me
Kelvin - don't like
Milo - tweenies ! Not keen
Magnus - Magnum PI 😂 sorry hate it
Oliver - ok but very common
Rory - nice, I prefer Ruairidh

I actually prefer Ruairidh too but I live in England so thought he'd be forever explaining his name!

Angus - the kid off the tv show about loch Ness. Only met one, he was hugely fat.
Cameron - they are not nice people
Fergus - sings the blues
Kelvin- 1980s afro Caribbean rapper in a shell suit with a ghetto blaster
Milo - a tweenie. Like it.
Magnus - Magnusson. He'll look ace in big jumpers
Oliver - wet and overused.
Rory - great in all its forms.

I’m not Scottish....I’m from SW England, so regional influences do impact my opinions:
Angus- Angus Deayton, bit dated perhaps...I think of it as an unattractive name/person...sorry 😬
Cameron-as PP, David ‘Whopping Great Ham Face’ Cameron 🤮. Shame, because I used to really like Cameron as a FN.
Fergus-makes me think of Fungus ☹️ I don’t like ‘Fergie’, and it’s a bit old man farmer here.
Kelvin- I HATE Kevin (my former Step Father’s name) so I’m surprised that I quite like this. My first thought is Kilts actually 😂😂 No idea why?!
Milo- Tweenies, quite a weak name. Particularly as it has been adopted by yummy-mummies in the South as ‘quirky’, and it wreaks of pretentious to me. Sorry☹️
Magnus-quite manly, think of Vikings and Magnum ice creams. Hard to visualise a baby with this name. But quite nice. Bit posh.
Oliver-limp name. All the Oliver’s I’ve known have been a bit pathetic and boring/characterless. And unattractive 😳
Rory- Love this name. Cool, spunky, boys-boy name 😊

Angus - beef
Cameron - quite like
Fergus - creepy, don't know why, makes me think of the kind of creepy guy who tries too hard to be friends
Kelvin - someone from the 80s with a permed mullet
Milo - Labrador
Magnus - somewhere between cool and a man in his 80s with a permatan
Oliver - meh
Rory - like

I really didn't think that everyone would associate Cameron with David which is definitely something to think about!

The name David Cameron probably won't mean as much to your son's generation though, the same with Milo and tweenies. So if Cameron's your favourite I wouldn't let that put you off unless it's ruined for you personally by the link.

Unfortunately you never know when a perfectly nice name is going to be ruined by some idiot who bears it becoming famous (or a product/brand taking off).

Rory
Angus
Magnus
Fergus
Milo

Love all these^^! These were all on our shortlist for ds and we did end up using one of them. We’re irish & English, already had a dc with an English name and used to live in Scotland, so wanted something which was both Scottish and Irish! I also loved Hamish and Seamus, but dh wasn’t keen.

I didn't associate Cameron with David Cameron at all. Im in Scotland though and have my political knowledge is shocking so maybe that's why lol

@saoirsetheseahorse I like Hamish too but it was vetoed off the list! My boss is called Seamus so thats out!

Bet there weren't many Margarets born between 1975 and 2005

Angus- beef
Cameron- David
Fergus- a west highland terrier
Kelvin- the racist dickhead on the TV
Milo- Tweenies
Magnus- cider (I know it’s magners but..)
Oliver - Twist
Rory- a lion

Oliver is my favourite, a real classic.

Hamish is a nn for James. Can you sell it that way? I do love Hamish.

Hamish is the Scottish/Gaelic form of James. I like it. I like James but it's always very popular.

I really like them all except Kelvin and Cameron. Not because of David, but just that there are an awful lot of them about. I'm a teacher and have taught a lot of Camerons.

Angus someone I went to infant school with!
Cameron popular for people my age.
Fergus nice
Kelvin temperature
Milo Murphy's law
Magnus I like it but it reminds me of him off mastermind albeit that is years ago
Oliver nice
Rory nice

I like Rory and Oliver , the others are ok but dislike both Angus and Fergus, I just think of fungus.

What about Harris? Or Harrison? Pretty Scottish not too out there

Hamish
Callum
Hector
