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.

I know of a Barra (man in his 50s)! And I always thought Tiree would make a nice name 😂

I know a little girl called called Tiree. It's a lovely name and less prevalent than Isla or Skye. I've been trying to think of other island names but I don't suppose Eigg or Muck would be very popular! 😂

I have a 3 year old Elspeth and she gets so many compliments on her name. I definitely recommend it, especially if it’s your favourite.

She would have been Innes or Angus if she were a boy.
