a bit of a mixed bag, there's actually some really shocking names for Scottish BAs (Cayden, Alyx, Kyra Andi, Krysta, Rian...), though they probably won't be much of a surprise to others. Thankfully there's plenty to redeem Scottish parents.

Abby Krysta + Lachlan Derek Jeffrey (Craig + Samantha) what a complete missmatch of names. Lachlan - great Scottish name, Derek and Jeffrey - both fairly dated and very English, then the uber trendy Abby Krysta.
Alexander (Sandy) Malcolm + Mackenzie Myrtle (Wendy + Ken, sibs Jock, Hamish + Una) Alexander Malcolm - great, paired with a girl called Mackenzie - what!? And I'm sorry you don't call you're child Jock, it's tacky and too often used stereotypically.
David James Henry + Elizabeth Alexandra (David + Patricia, sister Carolina)
Freya Hope + Jay Stewart (Danny + Jacquelyn)
Mary Margaret + Dylan Glen (Domhnall + Maggie)
Megan Kerrie + Alyx Beth (Paul + Kym, sister Zara) urgh
Rory Collin + Cameron Roy (Matt + Lindsay)
