689.0. "Scottish names for a Boy " by VERGA::TAYLOR () Thu May 23 1991 13:35

    Hi,
    
    I'm due on July 3rd and we are having trouble with boy names.  Our
    first son's name is Cody Ryan Taylor and I love the name so much that
    I can't come up with anything different or satisfying for the next one
    if it happens to be a boy.  The girl's name
    we have picked out, I believe, will be Keara Ann Taylor.  Our last
    name is Taylor as you know.  I saw the name Shane in this notes file
    which is the first one I have taking a liking to.  I would like to 
    come up with Scottish names.  Does anyone know of any?  I am
    Irish-American and my husband is Scottish (he is going by his mother's
    side).  I believe Taylor is English...correct?  
    
    Any suggestions would be welcome.  Thank-you.
    
    Diane

	My son's babysitter is from Scotland. Her son's names are Alexander and Stewart. I really like Alex/ander and it might make a good combination with Shane: Shane Alexander Taylor or Alexander Shane Taylor I have worked with some folks from the Digital plant in Scotland but none had particularly unique names (Keith, Dougie, Jimmy, Steve). One name that was a bit different was Duncan. Good luck, Carol

	A coupld of other names I've come across that are Scotish are Graeme/Graham and Liam Shilah
689.3	Ian - my favorite boys name	EXIT26::MACDONALD_K	no unique hand plugs the dam	`Fri May 24 1991 15:18`	9
	My favorite Scottish name (actually it's my favorite any-kind-of-name) is Ian - the Scottish form of John. My husband is Scottish too, and I just about had him convinced to go with Ian (he was a hard one to persuade!) about 20 minutes before I delivered a beautiful little girl, so we used Allyson instead. I wanted a girl, though!!! Good luck and congratulations... - Kathryn
689.4	YANN or IAN ?	LEMAN::EMONIN		`Mon May 27 1991 04:21`	6
	My son' name is Y A N N (Spelled the French-way) Why not ? Hello from Geneva Brigitte
689.5	I like Ian %^>	PCOJCT::REIS		`Thu Jun 06 1991 14:27`	5
	Ian Patrick Taylor, a little Scottish, a little Irish, a little English sounds good to me!! Trudy
689.6	Scottland is another nice suggestion for a boy!	OBSESS::PHELAN		`Mon Jun 10 1991 15:43`	19
	My Grandfather was born in Glosgow Scottland. His name was William Burns Gailey. (Burns was after the Scottish poet Robert Burns) ((very Scottish)). Burns is a nice middle name to consider. Andrew was my his brothers name. How about Scott Burns Taylor or Scott Ian Taylor for a boy! My grandfather called his one of his daughters Scotti as a nick name. Friends of mine are from Scottland - though their names are not that unusual. Margaret and John. Her maiden name was Proudfoot though and she became a "Gentleman" once she married John Gentleman. (Pretty different huh)! Their children are: Scott, Carolyn and David and Carolyn has a boy named Graham... Well, if I think of any more I will send them along. Christina

	Re .1 They say the true Scots way to spell Stewart is really Stuart Cheers! Stuart
689.8	What about Gareth?	WR2FOR::YACKLY_SH		`Mon Jun 15 1992 17:09`	2
	I have a Scottish friend whose name is Gareth. We call him Gary so as not to be too formal.
