Scottish boys names?

[badg3r]

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

I like Gregor from your list best.

I also like Duncan, Atholl and Brodie.

And Nairn.

I like them all except Hamish. It's the vocative case of the gaelic Seumas so doesn't sound like a proper name to me.

If we had had a second boy he would have been Magnus. I like both Mags and Gus.

Keir
Harris

Nicol?

I have a Douglas, middle name Alasdair. Also a fan of Ruairaidh and Angus.

Adding to the list:

Graeme
Kenneth
Robert
Wee man

Or any classic boys name with wee before it:

Wee Davy
wee Bob

Ruariadh /Ruari

@tootrue we do already have a "wee-diminutive" at home 😂

I do love the Gaelic spelling of Rory (and prefer the pronunciation) but some of DH's relatives struggle with the pronunciation and I would worry it would grate on my to hear it mis-pronounced.

Douglas nn Dougie is lovely!

lachlan fraser conall

A couple of people have already mentioned it but I love Struan. Couldn’t persuade my DH, but maybe next time if we have another boy.

from your list i like francis

Campbell

Innes

I have a Scottish family in my Sims game and after trawling through names, their Son is called Barclay. If you were after something a little more normal, Aidan

Oh I do love Lachlan. What about Duncan?

Xander is only ever Scottish chav, Alexander / Alex / Sandy

Harris is lovely.
Lachlan too.

I love Lochlann/Lachlan and Struan but unfortunately can't use either.

Brodie

Oh please use Malcolm! So fab, Mal is such a nice short form and it's so underused.

Malcolm Hamish would be my choice.

Magnus is also fab.

Have you considered island names at all - Thorfinn, Sigurd etc?
