[Opinions] Scottish BAs
a bit of a mixed bag, there's actually some really shocking names for Scottish BAs (Cayden, Alyx, Kyra Andi, Krysta, Rian...), though they probably won't be much of a surprise to others. Thankfully there's plenty to redeem Scottish parents.
Girls:
Bethan Catherine (Scott + Laura)
Carly Gillian (Stuart + Sharon)
Christina Mary (Stephen + Rachael)
Eilidh Christina (Iain + Gillian, sisters Rebecca Jane + Joanne) *
Elodie Anna (Fredo + Joy)
Freya Elspeth Mary (David + Jacqui) *
Heather Letitia (Ross + Jennifer, sister Amy) * I was really glad to see this, I've been toying with Letitia as a middle name because because it honours.
Holly Maisie (David + Linda)
Imogen Lindsay (Bruce + Shona, sister Honor)
India Grace (James + Melissa)
Iola Amber (Amberley + Paul)
Isla Antonia (Russel [sic] + Zoe, sister Abbey [sic]) * I know the double a doesn't flow brilliantly but I can't help liking Isla paired with the rarer Antonia.
Isla Mary Sophia (Stephen + Nicola) *
Jade Alice (Brian + Pamela)
Jenna Amalia (Alan + Claire)
Juliet Haruna (Simon + Yumi)
Katie Helen Sheila (John + Caroline)
Katrina Abigail (William + Louise)
Kelsey Jade (Shaun + Michelle, sister Rebecca)
Kirsty Charlotte (Philip + Rachel)
Kyra Andi Grace (Mark + Karen)
Lara Lily (Donald + Shirley, brother Donald)
Marni (Bruce + Arlene)
Mayabelle (Allan + Tracey)
Neve Anna (Chris + Kirsty)
Niamh Elizabeth (Roger + Nicola)
Niamh Erin Mary (George + Claire) *
Orla Jane (Martin + Audrey) *
Rebecca Amelie (Stephen + Jacqueline)
Sasha Catherine (Graham + Helen, brothers Oliver + Rory)
Sophie Summer (Aaron + Kelly)
Tabitha Claire Thea (Martin + Erica)
Tori Alex (David + Sharron [sic])
Boys:
Alasdair John David (John + Fiona, brother Finlay)
Callan (Ross + Jolene)
Cameron James Curtis (Mark + Tiffany)
Cayden (Aaron + Michelle, brother Corey) Nooooooo...the Cayden's have arrived in Scotland! Cayden + Corey, just horrendus.
Charlie Duncan (Jim + Lorraine)
Cristian [sic] (Ian + Karen, sisters Morgan + Alyssa)
Ethan James (Pete + Julie, sister Estelle)
Gregor Murray (William + Andrea, sister Rhiannon)
Jack Ronald (Rudi + Julie, sister Jemma)
Jacob Francis (Joe + Lisa)
Joel Nicholas (Louis + Gillian)
Karsten (Neil + Jill – named in memory of his grandfather Helmuth Karsten)
Lewis Thomas (Claire + Craig)
Logan Connor (Stuart + Niki, siblings Frazer + Lisa) * I know it's incredibly trendy but I still love Logan
Reuben Alexander (Coinneach + Jennifer)
Rian (Craig + Elaine, sister Laurie)
Scott Christopher (Mark + Gail)
Spencer William George (Andrew + Debbie, sister Florrie)
Theo James (Michael + Lianne, brother Louis) *
Wilfred James (Robbie + April, brother Thomas) * I don't think I'd ever have the guts to use it, but I like it.
William Humphrey Peter (John + Helen, siblings Freya + George)
Twins:
Abby Krysta + Lachlan Derek Jeffrey (Craig + Samantha) what a complete missmatch of names. Lachlan - great Scottish name, Derek and Jeffrey - both fairly dated and very English, then the uber trendy Abby Krysta.
Alexander (Sandy) Malcolm + Mackenzie Myrtle (Wendy + Ken, sibs Jock, Hamish + Una) Alexander Malcolm - great, paired with a girl called Mackenzie - what!? And I'm sorry you don't call you're child Jock, it's tacky and too often used stereotypically.
David James Henry + Elizabeth Alexandra (David + Patricia, sister Carolina)
Freya Hope + Jay Stewart (Danny + Jacquelyn)
Mary Margaret + Dylan Glen (Domhnall + Maggie)
Megan Kerrie + Alyx Beth (Paul + Kym, sister Zara) urgh
Rory Collin + Cameron Roy (Matt + Lindsay)

Girls:
Bethan Catherine - I love both names, but they are wayyy too similar sounding to be used in the same combo, imo.
Carly Gillian - Gillian is nice, but Carly is far too cutesy.
Christina Mary - Boring, but nice.
Eilidh Christina - I like Eilidh, but it seems mismatched with Christina (which is okay, but nms).
Elodie Anna - Too many vowels as a combo, but both names are lovely individually.
Freya Elspeth Mary - Gorgeous! Would be near perfection if Freya was spelled Freja.
Heather Letitia - Not a fan of either. Heather is horribly dated where I live (US) and Letitia sounds tacky to me.
Holly Maisie - Terribly cutesy and I dislike the double "ee" sound endings. I like Holly, but prefer Maisie as a nn.
Imogen Lindsay - Imogen is great, but Lindsay is very boring and dated where I live. It also sounds completely masculine to me. I love Honor, but prefer it spelled Honour.
India Grace - Not a fan of either name. I do like some place names, but India just sounds tacky to me. Grace is sooo overused. Give it a rest and maybe I'll like it in a few years.

Girls:
Bethan Catherine- I have never heard Bethan! That's so cool!
Elodie Anna- Elodie is so pretty.
Freya Elspeth Mary
Imogen Lindsay- Honor and Imogen are great.
Iola Amber (Amberley + Paul)- I prefer Amberly to Amber, but that's a neat way to honor.
Isla Antonia- I love it.
Isla Mary Sophia
Juliet Haruna (Simon + Yumi)- So cool! It's a crazy combo but I love it. Yumi is pretty too.
Lara Lily (Donald + Shirley, brother Donald)- Lara and Donald is catchy. I'm glad Lily was demoted to mn.
Neve Anna
Niamh Elizabeth
Tabitha Claire Thea (Martin + Erica)- Fantastic! I'm struggling to find anything about it to dislike.
Boys:
Ethan James (Pete + Julie, sister Estelle)
Gregor Murray (William + Andrea, sister Rhiannon)- Gregor and Rhiannon is perfect! I'm so glad it was Gregor, not Gregory. Murray is a neat mn.
Bethan Catherine- I have never heard Bethan! That's so cool!
Elodie Anna- Elodie is so pretty.
Freya Elspeth Mary
Imogen Lindsay- Honor and Imogen are great.
Iola Amber (Amberley + Paul)- I prefer Amberly to Amber, but that's a neat way to honor.

Gregor Murray (William + Andrea, sister Rhiannon)- Gregor and Rhiannon is perfect! I'm so glad it was Gregor, not Gregory. Murray is a neat mn.
I like the following combos but with all of them I much prefer the first name to the middle name:
Bethan Catherine
Freya Elspeth
India Grace
Isla Antonia
Sophie Summer
Tabitha Claire
Cameron James (don't like Curtis)
Jacob Francis
Rory Collin * Cameron Roy - love Rory and Cameron as a twinset.
Mackenzie Myrtle is an odd combo especially paired with Alexander (which I love).
