Mirren isn't that common at all, only 34 last year

I think it was Murren in braveheart, which I think means sorrow or spomething like that.

I used to work with a Rowan, and she always pronounced it Row (sow)an and yet I had an English friend who ahd a daughter called Rowana dn she pronounced it Ro(as in row your boat)an
I think the former is the Scots way of saying it

That's funny Pruners, I was at school with a Roslynn too.

DH pronounces it to rhyme with sow, too, Pruni.

Our neighbour is a Mairhead and she says it 'My-rett'.

Rowan (rhymes with sew) is more of a boy's name in england.

Rowan (rhymes with cow) more of a girl's anme in Scot;land

I love it for a girl

yes scotland always Row Cow.

Like how we say David Bowie (cow) not Bowie (Sew)

i knew a Tyree, which is apparently a scottish island (not sure if that's how it is spelt tho)

Tiree

How about Kirstie/Kirsty or Gillian?

My girls have Gaelic names, but we're also bringing them up in Scotland where they don't run into any problems with pronounciation.

If you're in England, however, or N. America or the like, consider carefully.

I love Kirsty, Shona, Isla, Mairi and Eilidh

Tiree is an island in the Hebrides.

I like Heather, Iona, Isla, Ailsa.

thanks for spelling!
i think that child is the only person in existence with the name. parents heard it on shipping forecast! i like it!

erin is actually irish. means 'eire', 'ireland'.

is yoiur name Bonnie?

An Elspeth is actually an Elizabeth.

My MIL is an Elspeth, but on her birth certificate she is Elizabeth.

It doesn't come more Scottish than MIL, either.

I have a daughter who is very bonny, but that's not her name .

Iona, Shona, Cora (core-ah)are all names in our family, all scottish

I worked for a Shelagh.

Pruners - ggs? I started there in 90. I think the Roslynn I'm thinking of might not have been still there when I started but think I might have known her from around

My name is on here about 7 or 8 times
