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.
