Hamish's sister is....

[yellowmelon]

We're due a little girl and are struggling to settle on a name. Our 2 year old is Hamish. We like fairly traditional but not too popular names. My partner's Scottish but I'm not - I think a very Scottish name for DD could be overkill. Any ideas?!

Ailish? (means of noble kin)

Harriet (Hattie) or Edith (Edie)
Evelyn (women's pronunciation - Eva-lyn rather than Eve-lyn)
Agnes
Eleanor
Rosalind
Meredith

And another one, Flora.
I think Flora is my favorite so far. I also like Alice from the list above.

Isobel.

It has to be Isobel, not Isabelle.

My first thought was Ruth.

Yes, you need the Scottish Isobel.

Do the kids have a Scottish surname too? If so, no need for his heritage to be given all the focus.

Thank you for all the great suggestions! In terms of focusing on my husband's heritage - that was my point. I don't feel the need to have a 'super Scottish' name to match Hamish. Especially as mil said Hamish is a name English people use if they want to be Scottish

@scribblyballer We do have a Scottish surname!
