I was wondering if anyone knew of any scottish names.

I'm having my first baby and i'm trying to find a name for both a boy and a girl.

Boy-Boyd, Bret, Caelan, Collin, Craig, Douglas, Duncan, Ewan, Kendrick, Kennan, Lachlan, Malcolm, Morgan, Ross.

Best of luck,

One of my good friends just had a baby boy after four girls and they wanted a Scottish name...they picked Kailex...definitely different, if that's what you're looking for. One of their daughters found it on the internet.

There is a Scottish Family that goes to my church. Their son's name is Collin and their daughter's name is Fiona.

Some traditonal Gaelic names that I have found are:

Caiomhe (kee va) it means kind and tender.

Bonnie (but they don't use it as a name itself in Scotland.)

Brighde (bree ju) Like saying Bridget and it means strength

Ceana (Keh na) fair one

Ceanag (Ken ak) comes from Ceana.

Sorcha (sor ru chuh) like saying Claire and Clara

Ailen (A lun) like saying Alan

Beathan (BEH un) child of life

Breannan (BREN un)

Ce' (Ky or kee) I think the y in Ky is pronounced like the letter I)

Lachann (LACH un)

Lachlann (LACH lun)

Some surnanes now used as names can could fit any place perhaps are:

Cameron, Bruce, Maclaren, Mackenzie, Macaulay, Logan, Keith, Fletcher, Carson, Clark,

Blair, Brodie, Bryce, Bryson, Buchanan, Duncan, Graham, Keith, Lindsay, Maxwell, Ross,

Scott, and Wallace.
