Cool Scottish boys name

[sureitsgrand]

I heard a name when I was pregnant but didn't use it. My friend has similar taste in names and is pregnant now and I'm trying to remember this name to suggest!

It's not Dexter. It's not Alaisdair or Hamish. It's not Ruaridh. But it's along those lines I think. Can anyone think of any of those types of names and see can I ring a bell?!

Sandy, short for Alexander?

Laughing at Paisley being suggested as a cool Scottish name 😂

😂😂 haha!

Apologies for the 'Paisley' error (glad it made you laugh though 😁)
you can tell I'm not Scottish - and was just having a 'blonde' moment!

god almighty I need closure on this thread

@Shadow1234, the word itself sounds pretty, especially when you think of paisley print, but it doesn’t sound quite as romantic when said by my (very broad) friend from Paisley.
But, fifty years ago no one would ever have named their kid Brooklyn!

I'm still not convinced anyone should name their kid Brooklyn but I see what you mean! 

I’m not really into placenames for people’s names either, but I understand the sentiment.

3out - thanks for the explanation 😄

Come back OP - we need to know if you have found the name yet!

Not Scottish, but was it Huxley?

Murdoch
Finbar
Tormad
Callum

Sorry folks. Nothing. Nada. Blank memory. Some beautiful names but none of them is the one. I'm flummoxed and sorry to have wrecked all your heads as much as my own! If I have a lightbulb moment, I will update immediately.

I'm following for all the cool Scottish naked to come back to! Ha

James
Leslie
Kenneth
Douglas
Angus
Lennox
Mack

not a helpful clue - but am now following because these are some kickass names !

We are stuck between three boys names just now - Fraser, Ruari and Geordie.... think Geordie is the only one that's maybe not been mentioned on here?

Geordie isn't Scottish so it's not likely to crop up here. It's English and means 'Farmer' as well as meaning someone from Newcastle.

Ruari is generally an Irish spelling, while Rory would be the English and Ruariadh the Scottish.

My DS's middle name is Fraser as it was a family surname. Duncan is also a good Scottish name.

Magnus isn't Scottish but my son is called it and everyone says it is a really cool name for a little boy!

I'm loving the love for Kester on this thread. It's not Scottish either but we very nearly called DS2 that and bottled it because everyone thought it was weird. DS2 has one of the lovely Scottish names on this thread.

I'm dying to know though, in my fantasy life where I have a 3rd boy I can never think of a good name for him!

Magnus is, sort of, a Scottish name. It's originally Roman and Scandinavian, but there's a lot of Scandi influence in Shetland and Orkney where it's a common name among generations of Scots.

Carrick?

Right, I'm back again - this thread is haunting me!

Nicol?
Niven?
Cairn
Muir
Lorne

Sure I'm now repeating myself never mind everyone else :o
