Scottish boys names - I've already used 2 up!

[jojochanel]

I've got a Euan and a Callum. This one will probs be another boy and I'm stuck. Hubby wants scottish but not too scottish so my favourite Lachlan is out. Here is what's been considered:

• Ruiriadh - not possible as we may move to England soon and he'll get the 'rory' pronunciations which I don't like
• Fraser - is this too posh?
• Innes - do you think penis??
• Ross
• Brodie
• Gilles - too out there??
• Finlay - overused?

Help - any suggestions welcomed

Love Innes, but DH vetoed. What about Gregor?

Love Innes and Fraser.

I also love Hamish and Cameron

Have you thought about Fergus, or Alasdair? By the way I like Lachlan too!

douglas or hamish rock my boat

apologies if i spell them wrong but
strewin or tadg are great names too

Oooo! Just remembered I met a wee lad called Magnus recently, which is fab! And another vote for Fraser, and Hamish is lovely as long as no one calls him "Hammy"!

Hamish - I see white westies in my mind.
Gregor - I do quite like but friend has one -may not stop me though
Alisdair - also quite like and hubby likes 'Ali' for a boy too. Is it too posh
Fergus has been vetoed by hubby
Cameron - too much like Callum. I liked Campbell but again too much like Callum and hubby said too 'Scottish'

I like Lachlan....(sniff, sniff)

Also Tearlach but he had a fit about that one...

• Love Magnus too but he say's again too scots.
• Stuan not possible with a Euan already
• Love Dougie too but he knows an odd one at his work. Dougal out apparently as too 'magic roundabout'
• Tadg??? I fear it will get vetoed on being unpronounable - how do you phonetically spell it?

His suggestion.....'Bob'!!!!!

Beas...haven't heard Tadg before, though apparently it is the Scottish version of a name which means poet in Irish.
BUT - in Scotland one should be aware that a tadger is a penis.

Magnus is too Scottish? It's Scandinavian.

Euan and Calum my favourites, too
Tammas
Angus
James
Andrew

Love Fraser and Innes. Not too posh at all! I work with one of each, neither are posh. In fact Fraser isn't even Scottish!

Gavin?

Robbie, instead of Bob?

A friend from Glasgow is Alastair, usually shortened to Al, which I really like.
Another friend is Ian because his dad got drunk with a Scotsman the night before he was born.
Donnie is nice, but I don't particularly like Donald.
I like Ross best from your list. And I do like Lachlan.

Angus?

Duncan is a great name.

Bruce?

Stuart?

He actually does like Robert and I like Robbie but he says that's a 'no go' cos of Robbie williams

Worked for a nasty Angus so bad memories

Magnus - I know - he's not too well informed.

I'm losing it with him cos he was like this with the first two as well. He told me at the weekend me he has a list in his head and he'll let me know when it comes out based on what it looks like - so that's helpful!!!

PS He told me that last one looked like an 'alien' when it came out

Ninian?

Hector?

I have a friend with an Alastair and Finlay. I love the names!

or Winston Churchill - yeah thanks dh for your extremely helpful imput.

I have an Angus - he's known as Gus.

What about Douglas?

Innes doesn't make me think of Penis, but if it has that effect on you maybe not the best.
If you go for Iain please don't anglicise to Ian!

Great thread btw. Interesting to see what people regard as a scottish name.
