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?!

Lorne ? As in Lorne sausage ?

WaxOnFeckOff · 30/10/2018 22:16

No, as in the Firth of Lorne...or the male version of Lorna

Zander - not even sure that's Scottish but locally (in Scotland) we had a Zander born recently.

Menzies? (made uncool by being pronounced Mingiss).

Fraser? (made uncool by dad's army).

I need to know. Hope OP remembers.

Forbes is one of my all time favorite Scottish names but I never mentioned it to DP as an option as it was the name of a good friend's brother who sadly passed away and an ex so I thought it might not be appropriate....

Rhodri? Although I think that's Welsh?

Good to see you on here 😘

I recognise your name from threads a long while back (I wasn’t PHSG then) and I’m glad you’re one of the pregnant people x

Loving this thread, pretty much all my male family members' names have been mentioned, DB's name multiple times, as well as our surname, minus the Mc.

Blatant place-marking for the great reveal.

Shadow1234 · 02/11/2018 06:08

Sheridan? (Im moving away from scottish names now)

Shadow1234 · 02/11/2018 06:09

Or is that a girls name? Oops
