Boy Names

[name_f]Every[/name_f] year at my school we hold a big music competition and lots of people from the surrounding areas come to compete. Our local newspaper listed all the people that won first, second and third and I thought I would post some to see what you all think.

Your area has such pretty names! No [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]'s, [name_u]Madison[/name_u]'s, or [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]'s anywhere! I would say I don’t like Murdo, it reminds me of murder…but there are so many unique names :slight_smile:

Most of them are fairly normal names… But some are really unusual

Favourites:
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_f]Janie[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_u]Finlay[/name_u]
[name_m]Hamish[/name_m]

Least Favourites:
Murdo- Sounds like murder
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f]- What’s wrong with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]? [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] is a boys name and I hate [name_f]Anne[/name_f]
[name_m]Hector[/name_m]- Hectoring someone is tormenting them and the nickname is Hec!
[name_u]Freddie[/name_u]- I just dislike it for some reason
[name_m]Mitchell[/name_m]- See [name_u]Freddie[/name_u]
[name_f]Rebekah[/name_f]- Too biblical
Maighsi- I’m not sure this is Gaelic. It might just be a misspelling
Vaila- Made up
[name_f]Kayla[/name_f]- See [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] and [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m]

Going to take a wild guess that you’re in [name_f]Scotland[/name_f]? I love [name_f]Kirsty[/name_f], [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], [name_f]Moira[/name_f], Lilidh, [name_f]Sally[/name_f], Vaila, [name_m]Christopher[/name_m].

Good guess!

It’s not a misspelling in the newspaper because I did my work experience at the school she goes to and it was written on all her work like this.
