HelpRe: Popular Scottish Names
in reply to a message by Glitzy Cate
One thing that stands out is a lot could fall into the category of surnames or place names. Lewis, Murray, Iona, Skye are my favorites of those.
I like Angus because it reminds me of "The Song of Wandering Aengus" - it's substantial sounding but sentimental in a way that makes it interesting.
I didn't used to like Hamish, but it's grown on me over the last decade or so for some reason.
I don't like saying Rory, Ruaridh, Ruairidh. I don't like the sound of any version of Callum unless Malcolm counts.
Eilidh is ok but not a name I'd trust myself to pronounce if it sounds different from Ellie or Eily in American English.
