[Opinions] Scottish names?

What are some Scottish names that you like or love for both genders? I was thinking about the name Duncan yesterday a lot. And was wondering what other Scottish names people like.

I really don't know many Scottish names. Or if I do, I didn't realize they were used in Scotland. :)

So, what are the ones you like or can tolerate?

Thank you!

There is a Scottish form of Caitriona but as I’m on my phone in Tenerife I cannot add the correct accent.

Elspeth, Isobel, Morag, Catriona, Jean; Ian, Hector, Alastair, Graham, Douglas, Rory, Hamish (mn only), Angus, Fergus, Fraser.

These are what I think of as traditionally Scottish names; there are others (Kirsteen, Archie) that I put in that group as well but don't like.

The 2021 popularity list for Scotland is pretty generic, not to say multicultural.
