Scottish names

[hhg]

Hi All, Can anyone help? I am quite fussy with names and really only like Scottish/Gaelic type names but looking for something a little unusual and not well used.

For boys I quite like Cameron, Lewis, Kerr,
Murray

For girls I really like Ailish (husband not
keen. Also like Shona.

Any suggestions? Thanks

What about Murdo or Sholto? Both fairly unusual boys names of Scottish/Gaelic origin. Not go any girls' names though.

Moira,Inga or Morag for a girl?

Lennox, Moray, Mungo or Hector for a boy?

Eilidh for a girl?

Calum for a boy?

Fraser, Rory, Donald, Alistair, Euan

Kirsty, Mairi

Struan
Nairn
Keir
Kerr
Innes
Rhurai
Lyle
Magnus
Hector
Donal
Dougray

Ooh - I'd forgotten about Mungo - I like Mungo.

Boys

Gregory
Hamish
Stuart
Ewan
Aidan
Gavin
Duncan
Dougal

Girls

Iona
Caitrin
Kirst y
Tara
Rhona
Heather
Skye
Lorna

My DS was nearly a Mungo but I changed my mind at the last minute(Angus instead)

I like Angus, too - DH REALLY likes it (he never REALLY likes anything) only it's my cat's name. I wish I'd saved it all those years ago

Fergus
Clyde

Marsaili, Alastriona (Irish 'Alexandra' or f. form of Alastair) for a girl.
Keir, Alec, Alastair, Raghnall/ Ranald for a boy.

Thanks everyone for suggestions

I love Isla for a girl!

Isla, Heather, Fiona all out as names already in family but I agree, Islan is a lovely name

Lachlan?

Catriona? Flora?

I also once met someone with a lovely gaelic girls' name similar to the Irish Mairead, pronounced "My-red", but I don't know how to spell this.

I love Sholto funnily enough more common in London than the highlands.

Haha - that'd be right.

Where are you OP? Just asking because in most areas of Scotland Lewis is very popular, so wouldn't go for that if you want something unusual. Cameron's quite popular too I think (I speak as the mum of a Calum!)

Boys:
Moray (better than Murray?), Innes, Logan, Ruraidh

Girls:
Eilidh, Kaetrin, Mirren

I love Mirren but prefer the Muiranne spelling

Hi, I'm in Scotland and yes I agree, Lewis, Cameron, Calum, Jack are all names I like but all seem very popular at the moment here

Really like Murray.

I love love love Scottish names! We won't be using anything but when the time comes :-)

I don't think anyone has mentioned my favourite girls name yet- Ailsa
I also like;
Naimh
Cara
Eilean

I think most of my possibilities for boys have been suggested though I also like;
Douglas
Gregor
Alexander (shortened to Sandy)
Coll (as in the Island)

Looking at your original suggestions, they are all gorgeous! I do love Shona- it was my favourite name for years until I started loving Ailsa more. I also love Iona and Isla (my Aunt's dog is called the latter though so that is out for a baby )

dizzy my maiden name was Muir, and I struggle with the idea that Muiranne can sound the same as Mirren? It does maybe look more feminine, but it just can't sound the same

Prickly - I know what you mean but it does - weirdy scottish people that we are

Colm for a boy? Eoghan (pronounced yowin)
Roslin for a girl.
