Scottish Names for Boys

  1. Halley
    • Origin:

      Scottish and English
    • Meaning:

      "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.
  2. Raibeart
    • Ranald
      • Macgregor
        • Origin:

          Scottish
        • Meaning:

          "son of Gregor"
        • Description:

          Interesting possibility for the son or grandson of a Gregory.
      • Macdonald
        • Origin:

          Scottish
        • Meaning:

          "son of Donald"

          Between "Old MacDonald" and Big Mac allusions, this would be a risky choice.
