Rowan is one of few names I consider truly unisex (along with Arrow, Jamie, Morgan, Robin, and Valentine), though I prefer it for masculine use. Still, not a bad name for a girl to have. But I already don't like Blake for a boy, and can't stand it for a girl (we're in agreement). Lara is a pleasant surprise, though! As is Myles, and I prefer this spelling because it doesn't look like a unit of measurement.
I'm not complaining about Brooke, as I actually quite like it, along with Penelope, Sadie, and Callan. (I also like Callie, but as a nickname for something like Callista, Calpurnia, or Calypso.) Phoebe and Heidi aren't too bad either. I will say, though, that I seem to be the only person on BtN who can't get on the Flora bandwagon.

No, I also dislike Flora ;) and Florence.

I don't know about Brooke in Scotland, but Brooks is newly trendy in the US. It looks like Brooke went down in Scotland around when Brooklyn did in the US.
Struan is weird, and omg I wish Hudson would go away.
It was interesting Lewis, Jack, Emily, Eilidh are so much more popular with moms who are 35+.

Eilidh is so pretty, but really wouldn't work outside of Scotland (or anywhere with Gaelic knowledge). I'm imagining a little Eilidh in the U.S. having a devil of a time getting people at school to spell her name right... :-(

Struan is a city on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Just googled it :)
