Malcolm and Lachlan are both very Scottish and in my opinion very handsome!

That is a cool name. Old school cool. I love it.

Oh and Rory spelt the Scottish way

Ruaridh.

Except, this isn't pronounced Rory. It's Roo-ray (and Gaelic).

I would disagree and say that Euan is really popular in Scotland! I know lots of Euans.

The Scottish Gaelic spelling for "Rory" (but it's not really pronounced that way) is Ruairidh. There is a rule in Gaelic spelling that says which vowels should follow and surround a consonant. If you want to use a Gaelic name, it's surely only polite and respectful to follow the correct spelling
