Scottish girls names

[Namesnamesnames145]

I’m Scottish as are most of my family.

anyone got any Scottish girls names?

I like marsaili.

I would quite like one with a good meaning.

thanks

Let yourself go!

Sorcha - pronounced Sorr-a-ha. Means brightness. Love love Marsaili as well.

I have an Elspeth. Sometimes called Effie.

I like Eilidh too.

Seonaid (pronounced Shona) - but be prepared for people to not be able to spell it or say it a lot

If pronounced Shona why not just spell it that way!

Buggered if I know, used to work with a woman named that with that spelling and I always thought it was unusual and kinda funky on paper.

My friends DD is called Paisley, and they live to the western side of the central belt.

More popular in the north, or with those who watch Outlander.

Weird! I'd pronounce it shin-aid or similar.

I would pronounce it “Shaw-nitch”! But just googled and you can pronounce it either way, how confusing 😅

I honestly thought that WAS how you pronounced it until I was corrected. It's not a name I'd use (3dc and sterilised now so no chance anyways lol) but I do like the spelling and if unusual so thought I'd throw it out there for the OP just incase they may like it.

Definitely not Paisley!! Jeezo!

Some interesting suggestions in here! Never met a Nairn, Paisley, McKenzie or a Marsaili! Did have a great aunty Jean (though I’m not sure that’s due for a comeback!)

Love Morag too.

Skye
Elspeth
Mary
Elizabeth
Alexandra
Heather
Fiona
Rosemary
Isla
Morag
Catriona
Alison

Paisley sounds naff, like that's where the wee soul was conceived, and then lumbered for life with the name.

Thank you guys.

I love morag, ever since I read Katie-morag (I loved those books).
i love elspeth too. But I want Elizabeth a middle name so that wouldn’t work.

I too thought seonaid was said sha naid 😂 only realised it wasn’t because of this thread. Though I don’t personally like it so no issue there.

Paisley is a big no 😂 so I agree with guys there. I’m total opposite side of the country to paisley but to me it’s kinda similar to Dundee. And that’s not a good thing. Sorry if anyone lives in either of places 😬

@Namesnamesnames145 chipping in with a couple more as I don't think they have already been suggested

Kirsty

Sheena

(both go nicely with Elizabeth IMO!)

Also Shona is similar to Seonaid but with less of the pronunciation or spelling pitfalls!

In my family I have Moira, Fiona,Isla and Isobel. WantedCatriona however, living in North America felt that it would be mispronounced all the time

Catriona goes very well with Elizabeth.
