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'm irish but have a friend called Ewan. His dad is Scottish. Great name.

Ross is good too.

I think Lachlan is what you’re looking for, it’s of the same ilk as Strachan. It would go nicely with your surname too.

at Gene! You can’t do that to a kid 😂

Alistair is nice

I think Arran or Aaron would be lovely . Would go with Brodie and Harris.

Stirling is nice too.

Bryce
Hew
Douglas
Graham
Gavin

I have an Alec. He’s 4.

I know a Tiree after the island

What about James?

Scottish friends have just had a little boy. He's a Jamie.

Forbes
Campbell
Struthers
Tay
Tate
Cameron
Kier
Munro
Alistair (or with a 'd')
Stirling
Carson
Clellan
Torren
Maclean
MacLaine

I think Keir sounds great with your surname.
Is Lachlan Scottish?

Teacher here; I love Angus, Nairn, Innes, Lachlan. none too popular here in central belt.

We have a Murdo. Currently pregnant with 2nd child, had planned Bruce or Fergus if it was a boy. Just found out it is a girl and really struggling to find a name as good as Murdo!!!

Do you have a Mc/Mac surname?

I have a nephew called Fergus (in Scotland), I really like the name.
A couple more,
Euan
Lachlan
Hew
Hector

'The Scottish Gaelic name is recorded in the spelling Colin from as early as the 14th century. '
