Spartacus and Twinkle: Scotland's most unusual baby names revealed
Hiya and Twinkle on the list of wacky Scottish newborn names
Jack and Emily might still be the most popular names in Scotland – but a new list has revealed the choices of parents who wanted something a bit more, uhm...original. How do Spartacus, Sherlock, Hiya and Twinkle sound?
The National Records of Scotland have published a full list of forenames given to babies born in 2014. And it seems the referendum on Scotland's independence might have had an influence with 2 children named Freedom and 3 named Indy.
Other mums were influenced by their favourite TV show as 3 girls were named Khaleesi, inspired by hit TV show Game of Thrones. Others were named Thor after the Marvel comic book character.
