Help[Opinions] i'm surprised
in reply to a message by Lethe
that they are so similar to English kind of BA's. I was expecting more real true scottish names, never the less some of them are charming :)
Christina Elizabeth Janet (Morgan + Natalie) -nice to see Christina revived! the Janet is too much though.
Stella Elizabeth (Archie) -sibset goes really good together.
Lucia Antonia -absolutely love this depending on how they pronounce Lucia.
Morven Alexandra (Logan) -what the hell is Morven? its awful. I could see it on a male in like a Harry Potter type series... but not a female :(
Emmeline is gorgeous :)
Luis William -Louis William would be nicer but this is best boys combo so far.. the rest are not really my style.
wow they like their Alexanders!!

yeah as Caledonia said, Morven isn't entirely unknown here. There was a book called Morvern Callar by Allan Warner I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it's popularity as a girls name. Morvern is actually the spelling of the real placename, Morven was the name of the mythical Gaelic kingdom in the Ossian poems. Why it was decided it's a girls name I don't know. Personally I don't like it either, especially since it means 'big gap' it sounds like an insult to the persons intelligence!
You do see more Scottish names in the boys selection than the girls like Rory, Roderick, Gregor, Blair, Iain, Archie, Kyle, Hamish, Angus... It's something I've noticed people tend to be more traditional naming boys than girls. In the Scottish lists of all the names used in 2007 the boys list ends about a page before the girls.

Morven is a place in Scotland, and I know a lot of Morvens (all female) so I guess its quite a popular name up here

OT
All the Morven's I know are female too.
So nice to see another Invernesian on the boards! I'm moved to Dundee but would move home again in a second. My cousin was almost called Caley too because my uncle is a massive ICT fan. Another cousin was nearly Caledonia, but they thought it would be too much of a mouthful.
