I love Innes for a boy. I would probably use it as a middle name if both mine and my partners surnames didn't begin with an S, as it sounds like an awkward run-on. It is a well-known name in Scotland, although not overly popular. I think it has a much more modern feel than Angus, which feels really dated to me. I am really surprised that it has consistently appeared on the top 100 in Scotland, as I don't know a person under 60 with the name.

I also like Ines for a girl, although I pronounce them both completely differently.

As a side note, my grandfather Norman was from Lewis in Scotland, and he was often referred to as Tormod as it is the Gaelic version of Norman. This is the first time I have seen it mentioned anywhere else :)
