[Loubie33]

ok, so we've a way to go yet before we have to name sprog, but I'm struggling to come up with good scottish names! we dont want names popularised thruout the uk, or other clan names as we're both scottish! obviously!
girls name sorted...Iona Belle. ok her middle names my dogs name, but hey its a beautiful name!
boys name ( I feel its a boy!) current fave is Blair MacMillan. We live near there and macmillan my clan name passed on for generations. but oh doesnt like Blair! Or Ruairidh! Or Alasdair! or Eoinn after my dad!
nae way are we having another Wullie!!

so....any suggestions?

I love Harris. Really cute name.

also like Angus, Cailean and Corran.

Iona Belle is a GORGEOUS name too! Iona and Isla would be on the list for us if we have another wee girl. x

 

[tweetyfoo]

Aaron was nearly called Blair I think it's a lovely name

That doesn't help you at all sorry.

Harris is lovely though x


Please excuse any typos from my fat fingers!
Tapatalk madness!

I love the names Ewan or John for a boy, not many other Scottish boys names I'm that keen on though (and I'm a Scot!). What about Ross? Or Allan/Alan? Or Hugh (but he might end up shug lol). Good luck picking xxx

 

[Loubie33]

hello fellow scots! Dont think Shug would go down well! Harris great, but friend's baby called that and bump buddy already bagged it! Ewan good, just common up here! liking Lewis, oh hates it!
*sighs*
back to drawing board methinks!

Hello fellow scots
I actually love Hamish!! No joke, it's a proper Scots name I think. OH blank refused it lol Roory is another not sure on spelling though x

 

[claire671]

Another couple of wee suggestions: Lachlan or Murdo. (My cousins friend has a wee one called Murdo Indiana Jock!) or Vhairi or for a girl. Didn't realise how many Scottish folk were on here! Xxx

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

I was going to suggest ruaridh! It's one of my all time favourites! Gregor? Ellis? Cameron? Scott? Ross? Campbell?

My mums dogs called hamish named after hamish mcbeth!

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

I love Lachlan too!

 

[Lynds77]

I like Hamish too. And Hector!

What about good old Alistair?

 

[l_maclean]

Scott?? Stuart?? (Stewart?)


On my iPhone - so cant see tickers

 

[Mrsstuart01]

I love Travis! My bump was wee Trav but oh vito'd it- gutted! What about naming them after an island?
My friend has a nephew called Aran. Or for a girl Islay (Isla) xx

 

[Loubie33]

Difficult innit? i like naming after islands....hence Iona! I lived on Arran, so thats out! I like Gregor-our first dog's name! Hector/Hamish-horses names! nephew called Cameron, so thats oot!
Went to school with a Lachlan who was glaikit! oh doesnt like anything else!!! Fraser or Campbell may be in the running! I suggested Lewis, oh doesnt like it cos 'Lewis Hamilton is a twat'!! Jeez!
There is a few jocks on here! maybe we should start a Canny Scots thread? heehee!

 

[julianne]

I love Ruairidh! Shame your OH doesn't like it.

Struan? ( I love also)

Hamish?

Innes?

 

[Gayle30]

Glakit!!! Ahahahaha! Naebody will ken wit that means?!



I don't actually talk like that-im messing.

My nephew is Travis, we love that too!

Ross is nice. I like Angus and would have had that. Struan is cute. My lovely bump buddy has a Fraser-i adore that name.

Will u find out the sex of the baby? Xx

[Loubie33]

hahaha! ah ken fit u mean quine!! Nah, cant have glaikit name!

Not finding out sex-hospital dont do it and too miserable to spring for private scan. too far too-aberdeen? Na!
Suggested Struan and Innes.......all I got was isnt that a surname? Angus or Gus, just doesnt work for me-too many old boys round here called that! Ross too is a very common name/surname in our town!
So, i think I'll pick a boys name and just quietly do it my way. I'll agree with him then do whatever i was going to do in the first place!!!

Blair it is then!!! unless i find something else I love!!! Still thinking!!

 

[Gayle30]

Keir?

I love blair tho! Xx
