A recent Reddit post highlights the charm of Scottish place names, with a US tourist seeking suggestions for baby names inspired by her trip. While some find the choices quirky, it sparks a discussion about the enduring appeal of Scottish locations.
Scotland is viewed as a very beautiful and picturesque country the world over. In 2023, a record-breaking four million international tourists visited Scotland , along with 12.4million domestic visitors, according to Visit Scotland .
Taking to Reddit, a US tourist who visited Scotland wanted to help a poster who was seeking help choosing a girl's name from Scottish place names. Her advice was sincere, but may be questionable to us Scots who live here. "I do not know how this is pronounced so there is a possibility it isn't usable but said like len-zee it is cute. Another one is Airdrie - again, no clue how this is actually pronounced but if it is like air-dree that is cute.
Another user who lives in the US agreed that they had "the best time looking around a map of Scotland for names" but she warned: "Take my suggestions with a grain of salt. These may be ridiculous to use if you’re actually Scottish."The woman added: "I know these aren’t all names, but I think they could all work for sure. Also, I fought to name our son Stirling, but I just couldn’t get my husband on board.
