HelpRe: Popular Scottish Names
in reply to a message by Glitzy Cate
I'm surprised at the long male list and only five for the lassies.
I like: Ruaridh (and Rory), Lewis (which I associate with Carroll!), Angus (for a Scottish terrier), Hamish, James, nn Jamie, Lachlan but not Lochlan, and Fraser.
Some time ago, last millennium, there were twin brothers playing cricket for New Zealand whose names were Hamish and James.
I wouldn't cross the road for any of the female names. I suppose that names like Fiona, Isobel, Morag have become mainstream English names by now.
