HelpRe: Favourite Scottish name combos?
in reply to a message by Scotty
I didn't realize it was St. Andrew's Day. Shame on me.
I don't have stock Scottish combos, but I adore Scottish names in general. They are so rugged and romantic at the same time. All of yours are terrific. But I have to give the prizes to Eilidh Murron and Somerled Angus. Eilidh is especially fetching. How she sparkles.
Off the top of my head, how about:
Elspeth Catriona (Elsie)
Iseabail / Ishbel Fiona
Jean Ailsa (Jessie)
Isla Marsaili (how do you pronounce Marsaili, by the way?)
Muireall Glenna
Oighrig / Effie Catriona
Morag Skye
Ena Lilias
Edme Lilias
Ainsley Tavish
Dougal Kester
Malcolm Gregor
Gavin Adair
Arran Kenneth
Lachlan Sholto
Calum Innes
Ian Torquil

Yey Ainsley for a boy! I love your combos, especially Effie Catriona, Ainsley Tavish and Malcolm Gregor.
Marsaili I'm not so sure about since it must be pretty rare (even over here). I have a friend whose cousin is called Marsali (pr. mar-sah-li), not sure if its similar :S

valuable, inside information
So. This friend's cousin named Marsali, does the emphasis go on the first or second syllable? (This is too good to pass up.) At least I know the "s" is pronounced like an English "s" and not "sh."
I'm sure it's the same as Marsaili, just a variant spelling.
I've wondered about this name for a while. Thanks for your help. :-)

First so its more MAR-sah-li, but I could be wrong... We central Scotland types aren't reknowned for our pronounciation :)
