Scottish baby names

Hello!
I'm not from Scotland originally so I'm not sure about what names are still in fashion or not 😅

I really like the names Eileen and Fiona but I only know people over 40 that are named that.
Are these names still fashionable these days?
Any other name suggestions?

Thanks!

Our little girl is Eilidh. How about Isla, Iona, Morag, Skye, Ailsa, Elsie, Mairi, Orla, Greer

I have a few friends called Fiona and they are late 20s/early 30s.

I love Joanne's suggestions, those names are fashionable and I think they are pretty.

If I had a girl I was going to make her middle name Mairi :) I also loved Eilidh as a name if I had a girl too.

Is it just girl names you are interested in?

The names that Joanne has suggested are all really lovely names that I would suggest too x

my middle name is Mhairi which is Gaelic for Mary ☺️

Ones I liked when I was pregnant with my daughter were Blair, Isla, Orla, Iona, Jessie, Mhairi (pronounced as vah instead of mah), Skye and a couple of other ones that I forget....I wouldn't worry too much about how "old" the name is, there are lots of old fashioned names that are coming back into fashion now

Aw thanks!
Need to look up how to pronounce them 🙃

I'm hoping for a girl but technically I might need boys names too hahaha

I love Isla but it's just so popular at the moment. Greer is lovely.

My husband Scottish so we picked Bonnie for a girl and Brodie for a boy

I'm due a little girl any day and we are called her Skye, we also like Iona :)

I’m having a little girl any day now and we are calling her Blair 🥰

Orla or Heather are nice too xxx

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
