They all sound Scottish to me with the exception of Oliver and Milo.

Mintich DS has one of the names on your list and we live in England (we are Scottish). I think it's fine to have a Scottish name with Scottish parents and names you've gone for are all well known names. It's not like you're going for Sholto which would be more challenging for the English. Or Ruaridh which no-one can spell.

CountFosco · 25/08/2018 16:52

Should point out I do like both Sholto and Ruaridh as names BTW!

Angus - Aberdeen, beef
Cameron - Cameron highlands, lovely part of Malaysia. This was 2nd on our list for DS.
Fergus - Fungus
Kelvin - Temperature scale, or the scumbag editor of The Sun
Milo - in my arms, baby yeah (Mylo song)
Magnus - A big blonde sexy Scandinavian in a fair isle jumper
Oliver - Nice, but I know about ten of them
Rory - A lion

Cameron or Magnus would be my choices!

Milo reminds me of the Tweenies.
