HelpRe: What do you think of...
in reply to a message by araslanka
It's interesting. I've never seen it irl, and it seems like the kind of name that would only happen on the privately-educated son of a laird, or a professor of Scots history. But there's no reason why someone else shouldn't use it. I think I'd probably call him Ed - it seems the most comfortable nn-possibility.

If you saw it on a dark-skinned boy (like Indian) would think it was totally out of place?
Ed does fit, but I've hated it for years xD

I'd just think his parents liked the name. I know a black Hamish - 1000x more obviously Scottish than Somerled, and it doesn't seem out of place, it's just his name. (He's not Scottish at all) And Somerled is so unusual that I doubt anyone except namenerds is immediately going to guess its origin anyway.
Just seen kudriashkajo's suggestion of Solly/Sol - that works for me.:)
