Scottish Names for Boys
- Halley
Origin:
Scottish and EnglishMeaning:
"hall or woodland clearing"Description:
While this has a distinguished male namesake -- astronomer Edmund Halley and his comet -- it still strays too close to the superpopular feminine Hailey family to work for some parents for a boy. Fewer than five baby boys were given the name last year, but that could change as formerly-female names become more acceptable for boys.
- Raibeart
- Ranald
- Macgregor
Origin:
ScottishMeaning:
"son of Gregor"Description:
Interesting possibility for the son or grandson of a Gregory.
- Macdonald
Origin:
ScottishMeaning:
"son of Donald"Description:
Between "Old MacDonald" and Big Mac allusions, this would be a risky choice.
