  Scottish/Celtic baby name inspiration needed

  MistyM Joined on 30-May-2004 United Kingdom Posts 5,553	Contact Can I have please have some ideas of Scottish/Celtic baby names please - boys and girls? Or any suggestions of good name websites? I like Fraser for a boy but my H isn't as keen and the only girls names I can think of are Caitlin (does that count in those categories?) and Isobel. Thanks for any suggestions!

  Smiley Joined on 22-Jan-2006 East Ren Posts 10,528	Contact Well, I have an Eilidh, which i think is the best scottish name! This might give you some ideas. It may also give you a laugh http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/files2/stats/popular-forenames/popular-forenames-2008.pdf

  MistyM Joined on 30-May-2004 United Kingdom Posts 5,553	Contact Thanks for the ideas so far, loads there that I hadn't thought of. Really like Murray, Finlay and Angus (although that was the name of my old dog so probably shouldn't use it!) and Catriona (if I could pronounce it Cat-ree-oh-nah and not look silly), Isla and Flora. Am off to look at the link that was added - thanks guys!

  Contact We seemed to have a bit of a leaning towards Scottish boys names for some reason, infact we had chosen Fraser if Z was a boy.  Other names we had were :- Alasdair / Alistair Cameron Euan Callan For girls I can think of :- Rhian (ok, Welsh but still sort of Celtic) Mhairi Niamh Caitlyn Eilidh Ailsa Isla Bronwyn (another Welsh one) Apologies for lack of capital letters - Zoe has stolen my shift key

  Irgalite Joined on 08-Aug-2007 United Kingdom Posts 5,923	Contact I love Hamish and Lachlan for boys, though couldnt use either as I know a dog called Hamish and Lachlan is practically our surname! Girls I like Niamh (pronounced Neve) Sioban (Shona) Kirsten (but hate when people say Kursten)
