Best taditional names for boys and girls

[mammaofmany]

I love names that are quite traditional - not sure if I'm having a boy or girl so would like ideas for both. I don't mind where the girls name originates from, for a boy I prefer Scottish/Irish but it's not essential. Any ideas?

Girls names I like but won't be using:

Girls:
Florence
Isabella
Elizabeth
Madeleine
Evelyn

Boys:
Connor
Cillian
Frederick
Charlie
Callum

I love Alice for a girl, I think it's classic and timeless.

I think Patrick is a lovely boys name, Irish too.

I love the name Patrick but it's already been used by a close family member unfortunately.

If we were to have a girl, her middle name would be Charlotte. It has family significance for us, but is also a lovely traditional name.

There’s a guy I used to work with who had two boys called Arran and Lewis. Apparently they are Scottish islands? I think the mum had Scottish roots and that’s why the boys had those names.

I’m not sure if they’re traditional though 🤷‍♀️

Yes, both very popular names in Scotland along with Harris - another island.

I like Gregor or Fergus for Scottish names, maybe even Innes.
