[Opinions] Scottish BAs
A bit more of a mixed bag this week. Raelyn Carroll (Steven + Astrid) from PA, Steven is Scottish. Astrid is nice to see, it's a shame Astrid herself let the side down.
Grace Helen (Justin + Helen) in Michigan. my faith is restored in American parents.
Storme (Grant + Natasha, siblings Caitlin, Fraser + Luca) future emo kid, or a brand of rain jackets
Jordana Jade (James + Katie) adding the a doesn't really add any more class to Jordan, never mind the alliterative middle name.
Poppy Anna (David + Allison, siblings Mollie + Oliver) I can't like anyone who calls their kid Poppy.
Una Jane (Andrew + Lindsay, brother Angus) I'm still torn on Una, it's either really cute or really ugly. In this combo, I think I like it.
Harper Grace (Ross + Karen, brother Daniel) If they really had to use Harper couldn't they have used it as the middle name?
Andrew David (Shona + Laurence) classic
Luca (Hugh + Sara, sister Sophie) I do like Luca
Murray Iain Arthur (Russell + Heather) another one of the overly Scottish trend among the middle classes trying to overcompensate for losing their accents. Iain Arthur on its own is quite nice though.
Murdo Andrew Philip (Iain + Merrick, sister Mirren) ditto, but normally I wouldn't mind Murdo if it was someone in the highlands using it, but teamed with Andrew Philip its clearly not. And I love Mirren too.
Lochie Alexander Patrick (David + Pam, brother Hamish) ditto again, but I like Alexander Patrick. Lochie is just silly.
Oliver Ashton (Simon + Catriona, brother Tom) blah, I've never really liked Oliver for some reason.
Tobias Andrew Rolph (Jonathan + Victoria, brother Theodore) Interesting to see Tobias, it does work well in this combo even though its nms. I like Theodore.
Linus John (David + Antonia, brother Edward) when I hear Linus the image I get is the wee kid with a blanket in the Peanuts cartoon.
Liam Robert (Gavin + Pauline) I love this even though Liam is so popular now.
Conall James (James + Cara, brother Finnian) My favourite

Raelyn's a new one for me. Raelene has been used in Australia for decades - bit dated now though.

THere's not many there I like.... Anna, Poppy, Jane, Natasha are all OK, and Fraser Alexander and THeodore are OK. Nothing I'm excited to hear though.
