[Opinions] Re: Scottish Names - boys
in reply to a message by Felie
Frank, Jack, Jonathan, Randall, Reginald, Lamb, James, Arnold, and Rupert are not Scottish.I can't stand Frank, Arnold, Hamish, and Rupert. Arnold is so nerdy.I've never heard of Lamb as a name. I certainly would not advocate using it as such.I like Jack, Jonathan, James, Alec, and Dougal.MacKenzie is too surnamey and it's become too popular for girls. Fraser is also too surnamey and it sounds pretentious.I kind of like Graham, but it does make me think of the cracker.Murtagh is a bit much and not too attractive a sound.Reginald is so foppish.I particularly like Colum.I don't like Jamie on a grown man. It was my husband's nickname as a child and he found it so burdensome that he changed his nickname upon reaching adolescence, although his family continued to use it.I'm neutral towards Randall.
