Scottish baby names

[Namesnamesname123]

I’m after some good Scottish names

I love eilidh but I’m worried about it being too popular and I love marsaili, but I’m worried about it being too unusual.

I am in Scotland in the highlands so no worries there.

Thanks.

Is it just girls names?
I love Marsaili as well and also Miren.
Also don’t mind Iona and Islay.

Both sexes. Just didn’t think of any boys names when I posted.

Marsaili is gorgeous.

I love Scottish names with the proper spelling but our Scottish link is grandparents and we live in the South East so we couldn't make it work.

Fiona is lovely and coming back into fashion. Lots of Isla's round here, seems v popular. Also like Kirsty and Ishbel.

For boys like Angus, Lachlan, Euan,Ruairidh.
Dislike Hamish,Donald, Calum,Craig,Stuart, Fraser,Cameron.

Girls- Alba, Mhairi, Isla, Morag,

Boys- Adair, Struan, Blair, Torran, Fyfe.

Geillis, only know it from family history and Outlander.😂

I really llike the meaning of the name Aodh. but not sure I could call a child Ay lol. It means fire.

I really like Ailsa and Ealasaid. Ealasaid works as a family name is the english version. But i feel like i need something more prouncucable lol

Mhairi/vhairi I love.

Morvern
Siana/Sheena
Rhoda
Rhian

Struan
Crombie
Fingal

I love Morven. There was quite a long thread about Scottish baby names last week. Have a wee scroll down and I'm sure you'll find it. Lots of ideas.

I love Morag.

I like Morven but I know two people the same age as me called morven and i didnt particukarly like either of them lol.

I think Eilidh ismy favourite girls name but there were 5 in the same year as me, which makes me a bit nervous

How about Fiadh?

I love Morag and also Lachlan.

I like some of the island names

Vaila or Sula for a girl

Coll for a boy.

Catriona. Innes.

Dugald

I looooooove Eilidh. It’s my 12 year olds name. We are central belt in Scotland and she is the only Eilidh in her primary school of 400ish kids and one of 2 in her gymnastics club. If that helps any. X

I like Alasdair and Fergus for boys.

I'd never heard of Marsaili - is it pronounced MAR-suh-lee? That's what one of the baby sites says but they can't be trusted.
