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 ☺️

I love that name too.!

Has anyone ever met a Sholto?! I’ve only ever seen it on MN.

Arthur

It’s more I am aware it’s more English…which isn’t always okay in Scotland 😂🤦‍♀️

Struan :)

I haven't seen Barclay mentioned.

We’re not a nation of arseholes 🙄

This is my list to, to which I would add Alexander.

So Alexander, Angus, Fergus and Hamish.

Hamish is underused atm. It is lovely.

Caelan

Lewis
Innes
Brody

Elis and Hector

I hear Finlay and Finley as two different pronunciations.

If you want to avoid “obvious” Gaelic names / dh etc then I’d agree with other posters and say Struan, Hamish, and Angus are all strong contenders and suit both little boys and grown men without being “of an era”.

Hamish

I have a Jamie and a Robert.

I know! Wonder why the name Henry doesn’t seem to exist much in Scotland…

Have you met any Henry’s? Ive named my child Henry in Scotland. Worried about the Hen thing 🤦‍♀️

Really? I'd pronounce them the same.

Laird. I think it’s lovely.

Lachlan
Cameron
Alasdair
Alexander
Callum
Ruaridh

If you go Welsh, I LOVE Idris - so underused.

Malcolm
Duncan
Euan
Ross
Cameron

Lachlan and Cameron are great.
I love Rory but only the English spelling.
I think Ruairi is the Irish Gaelic spelling @DaisyEM
