Fergus
Magnus
Lachlan

Alistair
Callen

Rory and Fergus work really well together! Really like Fergus. Also quite like Magnus but maybe feels a bit majestic compared to Rory which is softer, if that makes any sense? I vote Fergus Smile

Sexnotgender · 29/08/2020 20:59

Fergus - nice
Magnus - nice
Lachlan - dislike
Gregor - dislike
Alistair - prefer Alasdair
Callen - unusual but nice

What about:
Angus
Struan
Munro
Bruce

TurkeyTrot · 29/08/2020 21:00

I love Gregor, it's such a strong name.
What about Hamish?

Bruce2 · 29/08/2020 21:01

Like Gregor & Fergus

Other Scottish-y sounding names I like are

Bryce, Finlay, Innes & Kester (Scottish for Christopher)

DramaAlpaca · 29/08/2020 21:02

I like them all so I'm no help at all Smile

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 29/08/2020 21:02

Fergus is lovely!

ButterflyRuns · 29/08/2020 21:03

I like Callen the most of those names OP!

ciaralily · 29/08/2020 21:05

Love Magnus and Alistair!

RandomTree · 29/08/2020 21:06

Love Alistair and Lachlan.

ThighthighOfthigh · 29/08/2020 21:08

How about Maxwell?

And Bruce

twirlywooly · 29/08/2020 21:09

Fergus, Alastair or Magnus. Not keen on the others.

Other suggestions:
Cameron
Harris
Jamie
Angus
Hamish
Duncan
Euan/Ewen
Rowan
Malcolm

SabrinaThwaite · 29/08/2020 21:09

Callen isn’t a name I’ve come across before (Caolán or Cailean maybe?), otherwise I like all your names. I’d add:

Innes
Calum
Euan
Angus
Cameron
Niall
Conall

Fundayfunday · 29/08/2020 21:09

I love Lachlan -its a strong,solid name imo. Gregor is lovely too!

I'm not a fan of Fergus or Magnus tbh.

Some suggestions are :
Brodie
Donal
Conall
Niall
Eoin

moonriver32 · 29/08/2020 21:10

Hamish also lovely as a PP suggested!

Echobelly · 29/08/2020 21:10

I like all of those a lot. Angus is a pretty cool name - I have one friend with an Angus, reflecting dad's family's Scottish origins.

user1493494961 · 29/08/2020 21:13

I really like Hamish and Angus. Not keen on Callen. What about Fraser.

namenerd · 29/08/2020 21:16

I love Callen- so unique and handsome! 😍

What about Angus, Blaine or Conan?

Oneandabean · 29/08/2020 21:17

Definitely fergus. I love it but have no Scottish heritage otherwise I’d use it.

ellenpartridge · 29/08/2020 21:18

I like them, favourite is Alistair. Was also going to suggest Innes and Hamish but see others have beaten me to it!

Viewfromtheisland · 29/08/2020 21:24

A vote for Gregor here.

TFSRM · 29/08/2020 21:30

Angus

ThighthighOfthigh · 29/08/2020 21:36

Duncan is fantastic

VenusClapTrap · 30/08/2020 11:29

Love Magnus and Fergus.
I know a little Callan and he spends his life saying “no not Callum” so I’d avoid that.

MikeUniformMike · 30/08/2020 11:46

Fergus - great
Magnus - great but will be Mags
Lachlan - fine, but will be Lacklun
Gregor - not my taste but ok
Alistair - great but may be misspelt and said as Ali-stair
Callen - not seen it before, not sure

Fraser is nice.

Unseeliequeen · 30/08/2020 11:50

Fergus - 50/50
Magnus - yes
Lachlan - 50/50
Gregor - no
