Scottish Boys Name

[ILoveTwilight]

Hi all,
We need a boys name to go with dd Rowan Louise and ds Gavin James Alexander.
Candidates so far include
Jonah Michael
Kelvin Michael
Murray David
Clark David
Myles David
Opinions please.

[oceryo]

How about

Miles David (with an i in Miles)
David Miles
Jonah David

Not keen on Kelvin, Murray or Clark.

[ILoveTwilight]

Thanks for replying. Can't have David or Michael first as they are family names. This one is proving difficult, we found the other two much easier to agree on.

[grumpypants]

Fergus? Dougal? Cameron? (Love these)

[christabell]

I like Murray and Miles of your choices.

How about:
Ruaridh (love this!)
Rory
Angus
Duncan (like this one too)

I am Scottish and also liked the idea of Scottish names but we found it hard to find many we really liked - in event we had a girl anyway! Rowan is a really pretty name for a girl

[Magaly]

Fergus

[Picklepants]

I like Murray.

How about:

Campbell
Douglas
Blair
Lachlan

[ILoveTwilight]

Thanks ladies. Cameron's are 10 a penny in Scotland. Dh likes Duncan, I like Ruaridh but think they would have to spend their whole life spelling it out for everyone. We are trying to avoid first names that end in S as our surname starts with it, just incase they end up with a lisp!

[copperjar]

Have you thought about Kermit?

[SoMuchToBits]

Fraser
Gregor
Euan

[tardis]

i think finlay is a sweet name

[ILoveTwilight]

Finlay is lovely.
Lachlan is nice too but it's ds's friend.
Thanks copperjar but I think we might give Kermit a miss this time. I work in a school so I know how awful kids can be.
SoMuchToBits - friends children already have all your suggestions.
I know too many children!

[Piffpaffpoff]

Ah, we too have an S surname so had to rule out Angus, Fergus etc. It's such a pest! What about...

Archie
Craig
Campbell
Gordon
Glen
Struan
Brodie

That's all I can think of at the mo.

[Xavielli]

How does one pronounce Struan?

[Rossco]

Strew-an.

Angus
Keith,
Ross

[Piffpaffpoff]

I'd say it Strooan. But that's just me, someone else might come along with an alternative that I don't know about!

[christabell]

Also just thought of Neil (or Niall). Really popular amongst my generation but don't hear it much today and I think it is still quite cute on a baby/child as well as working for an adult (my brother's name though so maybe I am biased and everyone else thinks it is truly awful along the lines of Keith and other 70's names!)

[christabell]

What about Neil? Is Scottish and do not hear it much these days though was really popular for my generation, born in the 70's. I still think it is a cute name for a baby but also works on an older child/adult.

[christabell]

Oops just posted two messages by accident!

[FoxyRevenger]

Someone I know called their son Elgin.....

[imahappycamper]

Duncan
Neil is a bit bland
Iain

[pointydog]

I like Neil a lot and underused these days.

Be daring and call him Mungo or Murdo.

I'm not too keen on your original options. Murray is ok.
