Please can you share your favourite Scottish boys names. I'm due in 5 weeks and can't decide. I already have a Murray. I like Bruce for a middle name. Thank you :)

Sorley... Not solely

I prefer the two L spelling, it is more common than than calum however calum is the authentic Scottish spelling. Go with what you like best!

Euan
Kier
Alban
Murray
Blair

Do most people prefer the 2 L spelling?

I prefer it with two but you should choose what you prefer, I'd automatically write it with two though so that might be a consideration if that's what most people do?

Callum has 2L not one

Callum has 2L not one

Either is acceptable - Keir is always spelled ei though (well, apart from when it's spelled Ciar)

Callum is very popular just now (in case that is a no no for you)

Wallace
Finlay
Innes
Angus
Nairn
Duncan
Mitchell
Fergus

Is it really popular in Scotland as we are in SE now so not too concerned? I was gutted when I found out Harris was nickname for @rse down here!

Thank you all for suggesting such great names. Ones I like in particular but are already used by close family members are:
Logan
Cameron
Gregor
Finlay
Craig
and
DS1 is Murray Alec
Arran was the second choice for DS1 but I've gone off it a little now.

I think both DH and I are agreeing on Calum and for some reason I do prefer the 1L way.

Thanks all for you input, we are 99% on Calum Bruce

Enjoy the rest of the weekend Smile
