Scottish boys names that aren't every second kid

[runninginheelsisnotfun]

Argh, I'm stuck and looking for some inspiration please.

I have a DS called Harris, 2 years after we named him there is a Harris every where I turn. Just found out we are having a DS2. I had my heart set on Struan but they are popping up all over the place.

We are toying over Angus and Innes but not really loving either as much.

Any thoughts?

I love Hamish and Fergus. I don't live in Scotland though so don't know how popular they are.

Oh no! I have a Struan and only ever met one other....

I really like Angus by the way, but I have an Elspeth so couldn't have Angus for DS due to Family Ness!

Struan is nice and not well used of course it depends where you like if it is a callum or Archie demographic

I’m scottish and the lady in the hospital next to me when I gave birth called her wee boy Macaulay. I think that’s cute!

Finlay ?

God my post looks really snooty didn't mean it to be.

What about Blair?

We are Scottish, living in England, and we called our son Gregor.

I like Struan.
Hamish
Callum
Cameron
Alasdair
Ruairidh
Mackenzie
Maddox

Andrew. My ds is Andrew and there is only one other Andrew in his big primary school. There is loads of middle aged and older Andrews but not so many kids.

To be fair Harris was already quite popular two years ago.

I know 2 Angus’s and 1 Struan. Haven’t met a Fergus for years.

What about Keir, Gavin or Murray?

I have met a few little Ferguses in the last few years but they were named after dads.

lol not at all @MrsJayy . We have 2 Callum's in the family, a Callan, Fraser, Fergus and our dog is hamish 🙈. Surname starts with a Brodie so most B's and anything ending in is or y is out too.

Makes me long for a DD - would be much easier!
This poor boy is going to be nameless!

I love love love Hamish but although we have a Scottish surname, we are neither Scottish nor live in Scotland, so felt it was a bit too much with the surname.

Depends where you live. We are rural and good Scottish boys names are common here...i can think of dougal , Angus, a few Fergus, Callum,Magnus,ruaridh, innes, Finn, finlay, Murray etc.
Loads...
I can't think I've ever come across more than one mungo so that's pretty rare

Your poor nameless child 😀 I was going to say Murray but Murray Brodie sounds like solicitors

X post, just seen your dog is named hamish - that might not work then!

Ewan!!

Atholl
Rory
Gillan (hard G sound)
Campbell
Duncan
Fraser
Gordon
Blair
Craig
Daragh
Ewart
Graham
Irvine
Keir
Forbes
Kyle
Murray
Lachlan
Nairn
Ramsay
Ross
Stuart

Took so long to post I x-posted with you. Ignore any already in the family then.

What about Malcolm ? There aren’t enough Malcolm’s these days.

Alternatively Craig Brodie would be lovely. Or Ian.

You don't realise how jaded you are by the people you met at school until you have to name a child!
I hear a name and think that's the wee boy who always had a bogey nose or used to push people at break or generally was a wee shit 🙈

Robert. Robbie for short?
Roderick . Roddie for short?
Murdoch/Murdo.

I'm basically thinking of my great uncles now.

Just realised I posted my full surname 🙈 talk about outing myself between that and the family names - hello neighbours/family we are having another boy whoops
