Complete lack of imagination - need a girls name!

[Blottedcopybook]

Hello everyone!

I'm 28 weeks pregnant with #4 and I have to admit that time is flying by with terrifying haste and we still haven't got a name picked.

Our other three kids have fairly Scottish names (or, as in the case of our daughter a name that could pass as Scottish - Erica) and I'd like to continue that trend with the new baby who we have been told is a girl.

Problem is that we can't agree on anything! I'd rather avoid names that end in -y or -a to prevent clashes with the other children and I'd rather not have a gaelic concoction with twenty billion consonants and a vowel. Similarly, if there are more than 100 of a name on last year's Scottish name register it'll be discarded because I really don't want my kids to be defined by the initial of their surname.

The only name I've come up with that I like is Greer but hubby isn't feeling it. His sole suggestion thus far has been Daisy which is cute, but not Scottish and ends in a -y so it's far from my dream name.

Any suggestions? I can't believe it's this hard even though I'm being ridiculously picky

Isla
Bonnie
Maggie
Nessie
Iona

sorry, just read no a or y names

Alice ?
Florence?

(not particularly scottish but could be? maybe?)

Greer is pretty out there, and also to easy to mispronounce or turn into greyer or grrrr

Heather. Eileen. Florence (Flora). Sarah. Catherine. Mary, Margaret, Nell.

ooo Nell

That's a gorgeous name.
Love Findlay and Nairn too

Helen
Katherine

No hear me out - both those have enough variations that if there's a multiple name issue at school you can pick an unused shortening.

Mirren - my favourite

I like Heather. I like Shona but it's an -a name, tricky to avoid the -a names (I know as we try to avoid them ourselves). DP liked Arabella (it's a place in Scotland as you probably know, and he is Scottish though we live in England). I also like, actually love Muriel but that's not going to be to everyone's taste.

Agree that Isla is v popular just now, as is Eilidh which I do also like. What about Fionn (more Welsh than Scottish though)?

I'm not hugely keen on Greer personally but only because I wouldn't know from looking at it if it was a boy's name or a girl's name, and that puts me off a bit.

Mòrag
Cait
Isobel

I could definitely grow to love Mirren..... Love Nell but also know a couple of those here, though name popularity can vary wildly between England and Scotland we've found.

Hello

I had twin boys last year and my DH is Scottish and we wanted Scottish names, we went with Fraser and Regan once we knew they were boys but if they were girls we would have named them Isobel and Esme (pronounced Es-may

Morag, definitely! Caitlin I like too.

OOooh I'm going to have to have another baby aren't I? This thread is full of yummy names.
