Scottish names!

[GladLurker]

I'm pregnant and I LOVE the name Malcolm. I think its cool and added bonus that its Scottish. My husband and everyone hates Malcolm however. I may still use it.

Any suggestions for like wise names (not Hamish) or good Scottish names? Duncan, Rory and Andrew have been ruled out by husband.

So a week on and still tumbleweeds from OP …

Jock.

Oh sorry was I meant to decide on the name from this thread? Jesus

Thanks for all the replies, some lovely names. We have plenty time to decide luckily. Glad there are other who also like Malcolm 😂

How about Scott !
Pampers website have a list of Scottish boys names.
I live in Angus popular names I hear a lot is Finley & Lewis .

It’s just standard etiquette to actually engage with the thread you started.

Better late than never eh?

Don’t do it

Alisdair
Callum
Cameron
Aidan
Lachlan

I thought Hector was a Spanish name?
I love Hamish but see you've already ruled that one out op.

Hector is of Greek origin. The Spanish is Héctor, I think.

Yes - a lifetime of being asked ‘where’s yer troosers?’!

My husbands uncle is called Malcolm, i like it his sons are Ross and Euan. Both Scottish names. I also like Cameron and Duncan.

Badenoch.

All beautiful names. Thank you

My male relatives are called:
Roderick (Roddy)
Douglas
Donald
Neil
Euan
Ian
Callum
James (Jamie/Hamish)
David (Davie)
Alexander (Sandy)
Angus

And it’s very nice to see them all in their kilts.

I'm sure the Scottish version of Hector is Eachann.

Eachann - Wikipedia Eachann has often been Anglicised as Hector (which is also etymologically unrelated to Eachann).

Malcolm is lovely.

Malcolm is great.
There's an Artair in a Scottish novel I'm reading, which sounds classy.
Why does your DH veto everything?

Just if he knows someone with a name I like who didn't turn out well etc, no a great excuse I agree 😂

All the Malcolms I have known have been well above average in the likeable department! Go for it.

Alec?

I like Malcolm also Maxwell and Mungo, Murray, Murdo 🤔 sensing an M theme.
