Scottish baby names

[waitingforbedtime]

Ok so I have a long list of boys names we like (for eg Lachlan, Fergus, Darragh, Innes) but no girls names really.

We do like Iona and Isla and Niamh but I dont love any of them.

The name cant have an 'es' sound or a 'lyn' sound at the end.

Help?

Hi - this thread is a little old. If you’re looking for a Scottish baby name, find the most popular here. MNHQ

We have a girl in our family named Finlay and everyone comments on how nice it is

I love Rowan for either a boy or girl.

A very close friend has a wee girl called Finlay so would be too weird I think.

Im not sure about Rowan for a girl...

The Scottish national Stats office publishes a full list of baby first names registered. Here's the link to the 09 publication. It gives an idea of popularity as well as some inspiration.

Someone last year called their kid Adonis...

Thanks for that! I will have a look. Adonis is going to have a lot to live up to poor soul!

Argh the link doesnt work and I cant find it anywhere....

Iona, Isla (ok, Islay), Skye are all island names..what about Cara? Think it'll be the new Iona/Isla in 10 years time as its already made the top 100 Scottish girl's names.

Maisie always makes me go 'Maisy maisy mouse' in sing song voice! Iona and Isla are nice and v scottish, Katie-Morag?

Tiegan, Roisin, Kiera ? mostly irish tho
