Hard baby name quandary - looking for a Scottish/saint name for a boy to go with older sister Grace

[Busylizzy17]

Hi everyone,

My husband and I are a bit stuck on boys names and would love some suggestions if you've got any! He wants a Scottish name, I want a saint's name, but we are having trouble finding one that we both like. Just to make it harder, it has to go with our daughter's name, which is Grace Elizabeth, and the names Andrew, Matthew, James and Ian/Iain are out for sure. Open to suggestions for first or middle or both. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Grace and Angus - lovely !

I feel like if OP’s DH is choosing the middle name and the baby’s getting his surname, OP is perfectly entitled to poo-poo his suggested first names and ‘insist’ on a saint’s name, the same way he is insisting on a Scottish name!!

I love the name Grace

I think Grace goes with Fergus / Rufus

Or go with a neutral name with good Scottish / saint links - John (love this name and Johnny for a boy), William

Or Donald non Donnie

Lots of good options, I think you can meet all the criteria! Good luck

Sorry nn Donnie

Mungo or Andrew were my suggestions.
A quick search of scottish saints gave Nathalan/Nachlan and Donnan.
Is there a saint linked to a church local to you?
Grace is quite popular so will go with most names.

I know it looks like it's off the table already but William and Grace = Will and Grace

Loving a lot of these suggestions above esp Hamish.
How about Cameron or Dougal? Appreciate am not displaying a very sound knowledge of saints here tho....

Alan

Well, at least one of the saints called Alan (St Alain de la Roche) was born in Brittany, so had "Celtic" heritage... (yes, I know, no such thing, but it's convenient shorthand).

Ewan

Like Saint Ewan McGregor
