Help[Opinions] Re: Scottish/English Names -boys 2
in reply to a message by Felie
I like Davy.
Fingal is to me a dog's name.
Harry, Willie and Ned are abbreviations and I would give the child their Sunday name formally.
Hugh is passable.
I have an issue with Roger for some reason.
DO not like Clyde as a first name (it is a river). And although Kyle is better, to me it makes me think of the Kyles of ... somewhere (Bute, Lochalsh).
Malcolm, servant of Colm... I prefer Calum, or Gilliespie, Gillies, Gillian.
I like Angus well enough as a name.
Odhran is not something anyone in Scotland that I know would name their child - artificial and post-hoc.
Walter is not particularly Scottish - though Wattie is a common enough shortened form of a certain generation, now in their 90s.
