Scottish Names living in Canada

Slightly unique ask here… Scottish girl living in Canada. Would love a nod to babies Scottish heritage in the their name. Pretty set on a girls name. We’re undecided on a boys name. My husband thinks people will pronounce Ruairidh (Roo-Ree) as Rory in North America. He is nervous people will automatically call Harris - Harry!? Open to any other suggestions.

I think Hamish is a nice name. Douglas is nice too!

Callum and Callan were top of my list, also considered Keir and Lachlan (husband is Scottish).

I love the name Angus and you can't really pronounce it incorrectly 😆. Also could just do Rory?

Ewan ( or any other spelling of it i saw a few ways on a list), Malcom, Duncan, Thayne and Fergus all sound cute the me.

Nothing wrong with traditional names, they are becoming a lot more common here. I know a Miread (Ma-rade), and a Davnait (Dav-net), both Irish in origin.

Hair, weddings and illness

I’m a hairdresser and I’ve woken up sooo sick. But of course it’s my clients last hair appointment before her wedding day this Friday. We’re doing a colour and trim.
16 years and this always never gets easier for me.
On one hand I’ll battle on and come in to work. Im a true girly girl and if I didn’t have my hair done for my wedding I’d freak TF out. So I get it and it’s what makes me just power on 99% of the time. But then there’s always the omg what if I make her sick and she wakes up on her wedding day poorly and it’s all my fault.

I HATE my job for this reason. It’s a constant head f&uk

I’ll probably make myself x10 worse by not resting and it’s going probably send me into anxiety/panic attacks territory for the next few hours while I decide what I’m gonna do.

Happy Tuesday guys!

Vaginal or C-Section preference?

Just looking for people's experiences who may have had both a vaginal and a c section? I had a vaginal birth for my first. I struggled very badly with contractions, but the birth part was okay and had second degree tears. Walking straight after and recovery good.

C section has crossed my mind just because I hated contractions that much haha! But I keep telling myself the recovery would be harder, and its easier to just go through the pain with a vaginal and once baby is out, its over. Whereas c section may not hurt to get baby out, but harder recovery (haven't experienced so presuming).

Whats everyone's experiences?
