Callum seemed rare till we had him and then they popped up everywhere…..
Both being Scottish expats in England, we wanted something gently Scottish (thought Hamish might be a bit much) and sort of assumed it would be comparatively rare. But no, there’s loads of them. Everywhere.
Callum was an option because i first asked Claire to marry me in the old ruined church on Iona… She finally said yes on the jetty @ Luss so he could have been “Take the High Road” or just “High Road”…..
Freya seems to be a popular non Pop culture/x factor choice over here in the celtic fringes of the Irish sea…
What ever you do make sure if you have more than one child that the names are either both unusual or both fairly common. Why?, well as a kid my name was relatively unusual (1970’s) but my brothers (chris) was not an unusual name EVERY TIME WE WENT ON HOLIDAY it was impossible to find a key ring/ badge/ book mark or what ever with my name on it! it has scarred me to this day…. 🙁
