Please share with me your favourite Scottish boys’ names

[DaisyEM]

DH’s family are Welsh, mine are Scottish (although I was brought up in SE England). Our son is Elis (Welsh) and so I’m looking at Scottish names for baby boy number 2. Please share with me your favourites ☺️

Ewan
my sons name is Ewan I also have another don with a Welsh name as my husband is welsh!

Torin
Hamish
Nicol

@HesterMalingerer thanks so much ☺️ I am aiming for a Scottish or Welsh name as that’s connected to our families heritage. Is ‘Finlay’ still pronounced the same as ‘Finley’? X

Ooh I love Torin. My childhood highland pony's sire was Torrin.

@DaisyEM I would say Finlay "fin-lee" more or less, though not a strong "ee" sound. Hard to write!

Ross
Ruaridh
Magnus
Ford

Alexander
Ross
James

Ewan / Euan but I am very biased!

Have a look at Katie Morag and the Big Boy Cousins by Mairi Hedderwick - the cousins all have brilliant names! Love Hector!!

James Alexander Malcolm McKenzie Fraser

I like Hector.
Alexander
Alistar
Mungo

I have always loved Torquil.

What did you go for in the end? I was in a similar situation and with the least Scottish name! 🤦‍♀️

Rory

Nice! I went with Henry…looking forward to the Hen jokes 🤦‍♀️😂

Is Henry Scottish? I've never even met a Henry, quite a few Hughs tho in Scotland!

I meant a not a Scottish name!

Brodie (personal favourite)
Blair
Andrew
Euan
Fraser
Fergus
Alexander
Harris
James/Jamie

Ah, sorry, misread that obviously 😉 😐

I'm Scottish and I would probably think that spelling is someone trying to honour their Celtic routes but made a big booboo. Sorry.

(Being presumptous here) Would be a bit like spelling your name as Eili

I didn’t write it correctly! yes bit worried about Henry in Scotland but hopefully be okay

I love Angus

Aye, Henry will be absolutely fine in Scotland as would any other name! We're quite diverse.

14 spellings of Finley etc. I'd give it a miss.

Aye, and loads of spellings on Rory that's why I just stuck on the simpler Rory, couldn't be arsed with spelling out the gaelic one!
