So mumsnet is known for its honesty... so I wont be offended.
We have a Harris at the moment
For a boy my husband like Lomond... I do like it but worry people will think it too different?
We really want something scottish, we cant have arran or lewis as we have a nephews called these names.
If you dont like Lomond any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I'm not always very keen on place names as first names, but they are quite widely used in Scotland.

I've come across: Athol, Comrie, Erskine, Coll, Struan, Blair, Craig, Alpin, Ross... (some of these = geographical features, rather than places)

I'm not saying I like all these, but what about: Gregor, Keir, Innes, Bryce, Oran/Odhran, Crawford, Maxwell, Fergus, Somerled, Torquil,

There were 5 babies named Lomond registered in Scotland in 2018 www.britishbabynames.com/blog/top-1000-names-in-scotland-2018.html

I really like Fergus!

Roseburn · 03/07/2020 21:10

Lomond sounds great to me.

Tinamou · 03/07/2020 21:11

How about Alasdair?

motherstongue · 03/07/2020 21:17

I have a Maxwell so perhaps a bit biased!

MikeUniformMike · 04/07/2020 12:24

Lewis

SnowdropFox · 04/07/2020 14:20

Love Struan, Nairn, Gregor and Lachie.

Personally I grew up very close to Loch Lomond and it just doesn't seem like a person's name to me. But people will the say the same thing to me about Nairn!

Sdoo4 · 04/07/2020 17:28

I’m Scottish so don’t see Lomond as a name. Too much with Harris aswell to have both names from places.

As mentioned above I quite like Fergus, good strong name.
Gregor is nice too and not that popular.
How about Alba?

msflibble · 04/07/2020 17:32

DH's family are Scottish. SIL called her son Aulay, which I think is a lovely and unusual Scottish name

TARSCOUT · 04/07/2020 17:32

Not struck on Lomond at all. Try putting the two name together
Harris & Archie
Harris & Cameron
Harris & Lachlan

Eppy123 · 04/07/2020 19:07

What about Glen? Haven’t seen that suggested yet

Mmsnet101 · 04/07/2020 19:12

Don't like Lomond.

Calum

Sdoo4 · 04/07/2020 19:56

I like Innes too, quite unusual.

msflibble · 05/07/2020 19:39

I love Innes. Had a good friend with that name, lovely guy. I thought about naming my son Innes actually

Bertyb7 · 13/07/2020 21:59

My husband and I are Scottish and both love Lomond. It's not common either.
