Pondering names

[namesnamesandnames]

Just pondering names at the moment.

surname is a simple colour

For a boy: middle name would be william, george or arthur (or william or george, and arthur)

I love the name Blair but with my surname its two labour party prime ministers, so thats a no go sadly.

Im in Scotland, so scottish names are a bonus. Suggestions are welcome

So,

Hamish
Magnus
Angus
Fergus

For a girl: middle name would be louise and/or maya.

Flora
Freya
Marsaili
Morag

Blake?

I much prefer the boys names you have chosen for middle names than any on your first names list. I like George best. Of your girls names Morag is awful. Flora and Freya are nice not sure about Marsaili not heard it before.

I have a Magnus!

Hector
Douglas

Frida
Jean
Margot

I love your boy names SO much. Girls, I love flora.

I love Marsaili!
I first heard it on Outlander and thought it was lovely.

All of your boy choices are good too. I think Hamish just pips it for me.

Is your surname Brown? I honestly don't think the first thing that occurs to people will be "Oh, 2 labour Prime Ministers" if you name your son Blair.

Morag ❤

Flora may not work with some colour names.
Flora Green probably not great for example and Flora Brown makes me think of dead flowers.Black or white is probably ok with it though.

I love Marsaili, so pretty, and Hector. I also have a soft spot for Sorely and Munro.

Magnus is my favourite of your boys names, though have you thought about Lochlan? Think that's my favourite Scottish boys name and goes really well with your surname.

I'd agree the two (linked!) labour prime ministers would be my first thought with Blair.

Girls-wise from your list I love Freya. What about Cora?

How about Keir or Euan?

Magnus George Arthur
Flora Louise Maya

Fraser
Struan
Callum
Hamish

Eilidh
Ailsa
Iona

ADORE Morag! Also love Iona that someone suggested. I think if your surname is Brown I would definitely avoid Blair - not just because they’re two labour prime ministers, but because they worked so closely together. Often hear “the Blair/Brown years” referred to.

Flora Louse or Angus William

Although I think Alistair and Iona go really well with Brown

Step away from Morag (please)

Love Flora but agree it might not go well with certain colour surnames.

Love Morag

What about Agnes? Or Imelda?

I like all your boys names, Fergus and Hamish are probably my favourite.

I’ve always liked Amos.

Is your surname Brown? I honestly don't think the first thing that occurs to people will be "Oh, 2 labour Prime Ministers" if you name your son Blair

It would definitely be my first thought as the two are so associated with each other!

I like Morag a lot but together with the surname it's a bit drab.

Fergus and Freya would be my picks.

Magnus Arthur Brown is nice.

I don’t have a favourite from the girls list but please don’t go for Freya Maya 😂

Yeah you can't have Blair Brown

Thanks guys.

I love Hector but also I’m not sure I could saddle a child with it.

yeah Blair is definitely a no go unfortunately, Blair/brown was my first thought when it was suggested.

Yeah, I’m agreeing flora doesn’t work too well with my surname.

I love alasdair but it’s too similar to my name.

I don’t like Euan, too many children at school called euan/Ewan. Same with Eilidh, I know 7 my age.

Marsaili is by far my favourite.

The middle names are so much nicer than the other names on your list. But that's just my opinion

Gordon for a boy

I only like Flora from your girls' names

If I had a boy he would've been called Angus William... so that's my vote ☺️

Girls, the only one of your names I like is Freya and that is super popular!
What about Eilidh, Iona, Ailsa, Mhairi, Eilish?

My faves ..
Morag Louisa
Marsaili Maya or Elizabeth Maya
Hamish George or George Hamish
Angus William

Hector is lovely, as is Angus, Hamish and Alisdair.
I love Freya. No to Morag !
Ishbel ?
