Scotland’s most popular baby names of 2009 have been released. The top five boy names are Jack, Lewis, James, Liam and Logan. The top five girl names are Sophie, Olivia, Ava, Emily and Lucy. The biggest climbers since last year are Owen and Miley.
And here are some baby names that were used just once:
| Girls | Boys |
|---|---|
|
Apple Bonnique Comfort Demi-Star Inca Jools Jorga Jubilee Juno KT Paris-Montana Renesme Vanilla |
Argyll Atholl Elvis Fidelis Great Jock Mungo Orpheus Ringo Soul Supreme Sweetie Tresor |
Didn’t take long for a version of Renesmee to pop up on a birth certificate somewhere, did it?
Demi-Star made me think of bras. Like, Demi-Star must be the sexier version of regular Star. (There was only one baby girl named Star, by the way, but four baby girls named Starr. I wonder why the double-R version is more popular.)

I actually love the idea of Comfort!! and Jubilee which is cute-cute..
Vanilla is okay I guess, and I would have thought there were more Junos
Orpheus is also pretty cool, like Persephone!
Jools is a nice nickname, but not as a full name…
I don’t have high regards for any of the others really, but Supreme and KT (Katie) are both BAD!
Bonnique has GOT to grow up to be a disco star.
I really like the idea of Comfort as well. It caught my eye as I scanned the list and I just had to smile. What a sweet little name.
KT may have been inspired by KT Tunstall, who is Scottish.
I’d love to know where Bonnique came from. Is it Bonnie with a French ending? Is it Bonnie + Unique? Hm.
I was surprised to see Lewis at the top.
