About Scottish boy names

Within the Scottish boy side specifically, Scott, Douglas, and Logan are the most-used in the U.S. record — a useful three-point sense of the register, since the rest of the list mostly varies between rarer literary, religious, and modern coinages.

This page shows 11 Scottish boy names sorted by U.S. SSA totals — so the most-given names sit at the top and the rarer entries toward the bottom.
