Aren't there anymore Marys? Goodness, this is Scotland! I am very tired of olivia and sophie - very common now everywhere and what do they have to do with Scotland? - how about morag - Eileen and kathleen are lovely Irish names and there are some lovely celtic/gaelic names? Let's use a little imagination there folks! The boys are doing much better - james and william are a bit over-used maybe but very scottish. june macnab
