Never liked Andrew. Just seems feeble and filletted.Alastair; Robert; Hugh; Ian and Iain; my fantasy trio of possible future Scottish terriers are Angus, Fergus and Magnus, but that means I think of them with four legs and a tail. Each. Margaret; Jean; Kirstie; Fiona; Elspeth.

My favorites...(i'm listing names that aren't just strictly Scottish, but Scottish variations of other names, too) my very-favorites are starred :)*Afton
Ainsley
*Alasdair (however you want to spell it)
Alban (Albion is a family name)
Andrew (okay, okay, not Scottish, but I couldn't help it)
Artair (more for the way it looks than sounds)
Brianan
Callum
Caoimhe (although I must admit I like the pron. keevuh to keevee)
*Ciaran
Ealasaid
Eamann (like the Irish spellings too)
Eilidh
Ewan
Fearghas (Fergus is okay as well)
Faolan
Finnean
Fraser (is one of our family names, too)
Gavin
*Graeme (however you want to spell it)

Iain
*Isla
Isobel (another family name. Like it spelled Isabel, too)

*Niall
Oisian/Oisean
Rhona
Shea
Seòras (also like the Welsh versions, Sioras and Siôr)

Siamaidh (i.e. Jaimie, another family name)
Sidheag
Sìleas (also like the Irish spellings, esp Sìle)
Sgaire (like this better than Sachairi)
