I'm partial to Isla, of course. ;)

I'm fascinated by Scotland, though I've not yet been. But if I ever used Isla, it wouldn't be after the island, by any means. I just happen to think it's a gorgeous name, and the fact it's Scottish and a Scottish place name is just icing on the cake, really.

Comments on some...
(BTW, I didn't know most of these were Scottish place names :b)
Alva - I once knew a little boy with this name. The only other place I've heard it was because of Thomas Alva Edison. It does sound a bit more feminine, but it's still nms.
Lorne - I much prefer this on a boy, and Lorna on a girl.
Doune - Would this be prn. DOON or DOWN? Actor Charley Boorman has a daughter named Doone (and one named Kinvara, both of which I thought were Irish place names). NMS, either way.
Sanna - This is lovely as a nn for Susanna(h)
Morvern - Interesting. There's a movie called Morvern Callar about a girl with that name. Not attractive at all, imo.
Carrick - nice
Leven - There's an actress on "All My Children" named Leven Rambin. The name is nms, but I'd much rather see it on a boy.
Leith - nice
