Help[Opinions] Re: Scottish Names - boys
in reply to a message by Felie
Frank (1/10): One of my all-time least favorite names. Irredeemably ugly. Is it even Scottish?
Jack (4/10): Seems sprightly and mischievous. Makes me think of spring-heeled Jack. It's too short for my taste.
Jonathan (3/10): Just ok. Too bland and common IMO.
Randall (2/10): Ugly. Would be shortened to Randy, which is a terrible nickname.
Fraser (4/10): I'm ambivalent. I think it comes on too strong to be a first name.
Jamie (5/10): Very cute, but perhaps too little-boyish.
Reginald (2/10): Fusty and bumbling. Makes me think of an idiot aristocrat. Like Wooster from Jeeves and Wooster, but without the charm.
Lamb (0/10): The worst on this list. It's not even a name.
Graham (7/10): I like it. A boy from my school with this name became a ballet dancer in New York City!
Colum (3/10): Looks too close to gollum. I prefer Callum.
James (6/10): A classic. This is my father's name. Jamie would make a good nickname!
Arnold (1/10): Ugly. All I can think of is the aardvark in Hey Arnold.
Hamish (3/10): Awkward sounding. Makes me think of ham sandwich.
Murtagh (6/10): I like it. Sounds like a character in a fantasy novel.
Alec (6/10): Very cool-sounding, but too insubstantial for my taste. I prefer it as a nickname for Alexander.
Dougal (2/10): Sounds like a joke name, or an ironic name for a dog. Douglas is better.
Rupert (2/10): Slightly better than Randall and Reginald, but only because of Rupert Grint.
MacKenzie (4/10): I like the sound, but unfortunately it's become way too feminized.
