I like the names Owen and Quinn (thoughts?) but neither of Scottish origin so am also looking for any suggestions for a gender neutral / masculine leaning name from closer to home

I'm Scottish and would assume Rowan was a girl's name, and now that I live in England it seems only used by boys.

Blair
Cameron
James (arguably)

I’m Scottish and was at school with both sexes of Rowans. Never met a female Robin though.

I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant and we're having an identical discussion! Cameron is my absolute fave, but DH taking some convincing.

He loves Macaulay, but I just can't see by Home Alone 😂

AnneKipankitoo · 25/03/2024 19:13

I know a male Rowan

AnneKipankitoo · 25/03/2024 19:13

Why do you want it neutral ?

AnneKipankitoo · 25/03/2024 19:14

I know someone that named her daughter Mackenzie.

mumofbun · 25/03/2024 19:16

I like Glenn ☺️

I think people might be missing the point and you want gender neutral or masculine?

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 25/03/2024 19:18

Porridge?

CurlewKate · 25/03/2024 19:30

Best gender neutral Scottish names? Flora, Morag or Kirsty.

Branleuse · 25/03/2024 19:33

Pat
Lindsey

Arran or Rowan are the only two gender neutral ones I can think of. Unless you want a surname name like Cameron or Blair - but they only really get used for girls in the US

I guess Robin is traditionally short for Robert so it’s Scottish-ish and certainly gender neutral

Alex too if you just used it as a full name

Innes? It’s a Scottish boys name but is very similar to the Spanish girls name Ines

Hiddendoor · 25/03/2024 20:21

Rowan was always a male name, but is being used more often for females now. I do love Rowan for a boy.

Sandy?
Macbeth? Lady Macbeth?
