Harris and? Baby name help please!

[Babynamehelp123]

We already have an almost 4 year old DS called Harris. We’re Scottish.. I got lots of negative comments about his name on here (presumably from those down south who hadn’t heard of it).

I’m 37 weeks with baby number 2. We don’t know what we’re having yet and have a few possible boy options (mainly because they were on our list last time) but really nothing for a girl! I’d like if it tied in with the Scottish theme (doesn’t have to) but not the obvious other island names ideally! Thanks for any suggestions 👏🏼

Heather,you won't get much more scottish than that, ps..its good to see your patriotic x

Love the name Harris. I have an Isla, also love the names Jura, Bonnie, Effie. Partner loves Hamish but I'm not a fan 🤣

I like Morvern but I suppose it's a bit geographic. I also like Mirren.

Harris is a beautiful name,I also love the name Baxter, but really I think you've got to work around the surname ,Brodie is another favourite of mine

Eilidh, Isla or Mirren.

All 3 of my DC have v Scottish names (and surnames). It was and is important to me to reflect my culture and heritage. My favourite Scottish names:

Boys

Lauchlan
Struan
Innes
Murdo
Calum
Ruairidh
Nairn

Girls

Mirren
Morven
Flora
Maisie
Eilidh

Paisley
Kirsty
Lillas
Rhona
Fiona
Mhairi
Eilidh

Skye, Isla, Kirsty, Heather, Eilidh, Kerry, Merida

I love Heather

Mirren.

I like Fiona, it's pretty, and also strong sounding

Flora

Ines
Gregor
Keir
Kester

Ishbel
Sula
Catriona

I like Isla for a girl, but if you were outside and shouted 'Isla, Harris' you might get some looks...
Elspbeth is lovely and I like Torin for a boy, and Rowan too, which is quite unisex

Can I just say I love the name Harris. I lived in Harris for 10 years, still have a house there and we will retire there, it's the most beautiful place in the world.

My dc are Gaelic speakers, some girls names are

Eilidh
Iona
Mirin
Morven
Morna
Skye
Isla (though very popular)

Lewis...obviously

Barra
Bute
Isla/y
Jura
Skye

If it's a boy, surely Lewis is the obvious choice!

Iona, Skye?

Flora is a fine name and very Scottish.

Lauchlan
Mirren

And I love the name Harris.

Ailsa
Lorna
Vaila
Mairi
Shona

@weegiemum oh how lovely 😍 The girls ones are hard, I think especially because we’ve gone for a popular name for the first one, I don’t like the girls popular choices the same but also don’t want to go too random and not tie in at all

I do like Lewis but we’d never use it as I think it’s just too much of an obvious choice!

Tweed

@ClosedAuraOpenMind really like Rowan, especially for a girl actually

Ailish

Fiona
