Thistle is more than a weed in Scotland, it's a symbol of the country, part of its history and an important metaphor for the Scottish soul. (Read the poem 'A Drunk Man Looks Upon a Thistle' by Hugh MacDiarmid if you dare, lol) As an adopted Scot and an expat I find it a poignant symbol. But I realise it's not a name that really works as a first name, I just threw that in at the end to see people's opinions.

Thanks.
