HelpRe: Scottish Names I Would Use...WDYT
in reply to a message by LL
I love Isla (prefer the spelling Islay - it's pr'd the same though), Skye and Finn. I also like Lochlann in that spelling.
There is a very strong Scottish tradition of using the mother's maiden name as a middle name for the firstborn child. You see it at least 50% of the time in the Birth Announcements I read. For that reason, I find McKenna confusing as a mn if it *isn't* I family name. My surname is MacKenna, so I'm biased towards that spelling :-)

heh...
I usually read it MacKenna when I see it and sometimes type it that way, because the "mc" spelling looks Irish. It will always be a surname to me.
