Due number three in September. Both DC have Scottish names and would like the same for this one. Long-ish shortlist of names I like below in no particular order, I would love to hear any suggestions for others or opinions on the list! I find picking names so stressful!

Rory
Magnus
Hamish
Angus
Fergus
Jamie
Malcolm
Gregor
Francis
Philip
Arron

Proud Mummy to a 'Magnus' here - lovely name IMO.

Lachlan
Alasdair

Thanks! I like Cameron and Murray but they remind me strongly of lads I was at school with.

Yes @GoneFishingAgain the latest three I wouldn't say are particularly Scottish either although I do really like them. I consider Francis to be Scottish because of Fran Healy from Travis 🤣

@magnarocks - does your Magnus get Gus as a nickname?

My favourites from your list are Magnus and Malcolm. I also like James, with Jamie as a nickname.

Francis and Philip aren't particular Scottish, imo.

From your list my favourites would be Angus, Hamish then Malcolm in that order.

From other suggestions I absolutely adore the name Lachlan. My Scottish cousin is Gordon nn Gordie which I personally love but maybe just cos he's a lovely chap!!

TatianaLarina · 17/02/2020 16:18

Love first half of your list.

Don’t like: Malcolm, Francis, Philip, Arron

Also like Hector, Sholto, Ossian, Fingal

Angus currently joint top of our list if DC2 is a boy along with Alasdair - if you like that?

Other suggestions:
Fraser
Finlay
Euan
Cameron
Struan
Lewis
Murray
Callum

Sdoo4 · 17/02/2020 17:35

I love Rory. I have always wanted Rory as a name but my boyfriend doesn’t like it.

ShesGotBetteDavisEyes · 17/02/2020 17:40

Fergus and Hector are gorgeous (and may or may not be my ds’s names!)

badg3r · 17/02/2020 18:06

@marmite yes Alasdair is an amazing name!! We can't use it unfortunately, it's already the name of a close family member, but I love it.

Glad to hear so many like Angus and Hamish!
