Also James, Andrew, Alexander and Flora which aren't technically Scottish but have had a lot of use in Scotland.
Most of my Scottish ancestors just had names like Robert, Mary and Agnes.

Aonghus/ Angus
Catriona (ka- TREE- na)
Duncan
Eiliah
Ewan/ Euan
Findlay/Finlay
Hamish
Iona
Isobel
Jamie (I prefer this as a nickname but it’s still a Scottish name I like.)
Kirsty
Maisie
Malcolm
Mhairi
Paisley (it is listed as an English name but it’s from a Scottish surname which came from a Scottish town)
Ruaridh
I also have a few names I like which are not Scottish but I, as a Scottish person, believe they have connotations to Scotland.
Lewis- an English name but the name of a Scottish Isle.
Skye- Another Scottish isle.
Harris- An English name but very popular in Scotland.
I also think the name Bonnie is nice but up here in Scotland it means pretty so to me naming my child Bonnie is like naming my child pretty, but nevertheless a nice name.

I'm afraid that this is going to be a long list...
