Hibernia LOL what Hibee for short. (Its a football team )

Oh, NO! Not Hibernia or Caledonia, no? You'd not do that, no?

Inverness Caledonian Thistle?

pointydog.... Mhorren ?? is gaelic and spelt different originaly but my friends daughter is this spelling the meaning is something to do with of the moors or something.

i am on the west coast of scotland and there are 2 Bonnies in my dds class and 2 nessies and one nessa in her school all are short for vanessa! (i was only joking about using the nessie btw!)

mckenna is gaelic and means son of cionaodh (son of kenneth) but seems to be used for girls and boys these days and my friends daughter just called her new baby girl this and seems to be popular with younger mothers.

Is there a reason for a scottish name maybe it will help to find one with a meaning!

coinneach = kenneth

expat, my dd1 is 10 and there are 2 Eilidhs in her class at school and there were 3 in her nursery class.

OMG, she is the only Eilidh, well, Ailidh, in her class.

Both at nursery and in primary school.

And Roisin, well, they misheard and called her Lucie. LOL.

That is my mother's sister's name, and their mother was a French orphan.

lu-CEE, my gran would always say.

maybe it's an east/west thing. I'm on the east coast.
my friends neice is called Eilidh as well and she's 4.

This one was born in the East, at Edinburgh.

But we moved West, and despite all we love the East and her people are all from there, and so I have no other people here, being foreign as I am, I am so grateful to be accepted, it's doubtful we'll ever live there again .

She is 4 as well, and tall and straight as a sapling.

They are not so fair and tall here, on this side. And even her HV says, 'Mackenzies were Highlanders.'

Yes, I suppose they were.

And so she sticks out.

Call her Eilidh, and if she does not look like a Helen/Eilidh, call her something else .

cionaodh is gaelic

How the hell do you pronounce that?

Holy shit!

I have said on here that I love the name Eilidh. DS2 was going to be called that.
My middle name is Margaret and I really hate it - sorry to any Margarets out there

Is Cionaodh not Irish gaelic though?

Isla is a beautiful scottish name

Agnes is also beautiful.....

If I had any scottish in my family, I would have chosen either of these gorgeous names

I have always loved Flora.

Yes i think it is saltire...expat i have no idea how you pronounce it..and my kids get gaelic schooling!

I love Eilidh, it's one of my all time favourites. DH wouldn't coutnenance it though. It was on my Mum's list for my dsis but my Dad said no - she is now Eleanor (Ellie). We have an Irish background but the whole family is English born, also no-one round here would know how to pronounce it. If I were in Ireland or Scotland however, I thing dh could have been swayed.

I ahve heard Eilidh being pronounced Eeled, eyeled, eyelid, eelee, loads of ways, usually by English people or Americans, sorry to say

Innes

Innes is more of a surname or perhaps a boys.

Innes is indeed a surname. Modern fashion has made surnames as first names popular. I suppose calling a girl Innes is unusual and Scottish
