Some names arrive with weather in them — wind off the water, stone walls, a bit of grit under the prettiness. That is the appeal of Scottish girl names, and the vintage-sweet ones do it best: Elsie, a Scottish short form of Elizabeth that has come roaring back from the great-grandmother generation; Maisie, a Scottish pet form of Margaret with mischief built in; Maggie, which is Margaret with its sleeves rolled up; and Bonnie, from the Scots word for lovely or fine. They are affectionate names, the sort that sound like someone calling you in for dinner.
The other current running through this list is far more modern and unisex-leaning, drawn from Scottish surnames and places rather than nicknames. Paisley takes its name from the Scottish town famous for the swirling textile pattern, and it has become one of the biggest surname-style hits for girls in America. Skye borrows the island, all mist and open sky. Monroe and Cameron bring clan-surname cool, Ainsley lands somewhere pretty and preppy at once, and Davina gives you a feminine form of David that still feels genuinely uncommon.
