Flora and?

We are rapidly approaching due date with DC2 (sex unknown). Our DD is Flora and I now can’t remember what other names we considered as we knew the sex and decided so early! I’m feeling completely uninspired for DC2, as is DH. We are Scottish and like Scottish names but that’s not essential. Otherwise no real preferences. Please inspire us!

Please not Rory (or any variation on the spelling) as it just sounds too much when you say them together.

I very much like Kit (as an abbreviation of Christopher) or Kitty (Christina)

Wow thanks for all the responses (except all the faunas - we’ve had enough of those from our family already Grin)

Rory is a top contender for us both but does it sound too close to Flora? We like Hamish too but know quite a few little Hamishes…

I’m surprised Elspeth came up so many times as we actually came up with this ourselves but family thought it too old fashioned? I actually like nearly all the girls names suggested here (maybe not too helpful!)

Love a pp’s suggestion of Grace - would sound lovely together in a Scottish accent.
How about Craig? Just sprang to mind - there are no Craigs about any more!
