[Opinions] Can anyone suggest any Scottish names?
Can anyone suggest any Scottish names, male or female?
I know some that are generaly used, like Jean, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest some strictly Scottish names I might like.
What are your favorite Scottish names?Thanks so much!

My favourite Scottish name is Angus. I quite like Elspeth for a girl. Strange, actually - these were the names of the main characters in a scottish cartoon I used to watch. ^ ^

"Angus and Elpeth watch those notes go floating across the waves..."
I loved it too!
I like both names, although not together, because of the Family Ness.
