[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.
