Scottish names?
Are there now, or have there ever been, girl names that are recognisably Scottish? All I can think of is Fiona and Isobel, and I question their authenticity!

I had a best friend named Sheena when I was a kid. Both her parents were born and raised in Scotland.
I don't know if it's used widely, but Donalda and Donaldina also scream Scottish to me.
Ishbel, maybe?
Oh, I also knew a Morag! How could I forget that. Aggressively Scottish.

Lorna too, despite not being listed as Scottish on this site. It could be derived from the Scottish place name Lorne.
