Struggling to come up baby boy names; preferably related to climbing/mountains/nature. Being a teacher it is really difficult to find a name that I don't associated with pupils.

All I've managed to come up with so far is Brenin and Nevis.

Anyone got any inspiration?

Two for girls:

Take (Kate)

Slack (Alice)

Rather than branding your child with a name that seems cool to you now, why not name them with a trad name (trad? for a boy) and use a nickname which can easily be dropped if it falls out of fashion?

Pals have kids with nicknames like bear, rocket, ace, flash, bobby dazzler. If they stick, all well and good.

In reply to absolutebeginner: Alasdair, as in Sgurr Alasdair on Skye. Incidentally my sister is named Fiona, and there is a Sgurr Fiona on An Teallach.

I don't know if my mum knows these mountain links, because I'm certain my dad had that in mind...

Just wanted to say I feel your dilemma! We have a new arrival due to make an appearance in May (unsure of sex). I'm a primary teacher too, and as a result so many names have been struck off the list as a result! For what it's worth we think we gonna go for a traditional name like Jake or Martha, both of which have a Hebrew origin, which is a coincidence as both my siblings and myself all have Hebrew names too.

mountain bike designer Brant Richards is allegedly named after Brant on clogwyn y grochan... what's your favourite route called?

In reply to absolutebeginner: Gaston or Crozzly

In reply to absolutebeginner:

Whatever you decide, just remember that at some point in his life, he'll have to walk into a job interview and say words to the effect of; "Hi, I'm Bowline Jones". Do the lad a favour and call him Dave.

In reply to absolutebeginner:

Bog Trotter

In reply to absolutebeginner: Curse him for life and call him Liathach; although you could shorten that to Lee.

But I'd call him John and be done with it. For a name that was once so popular it rather seems to fallen from attention in favour of Jack.

In reply to absolutebeginner: Wee Doris

Moac.

So if he's your first born he would be the 'Original Moac'.

And then if you had another lad at a later date, he would be 'Baby Moac'.

Actually these references would probably only resonate with his grandparents.

Thanks everyone - I really like some of these names.

Any more?

Struan - it means small stream

How about a traditional Gaelic name like Ciche (as in Sgurr na Ciche).

In reply to absolutebeginner:

Mono
Flash

Sorry

Trying to create monikers out of features and objects can quickly get ontrived and silly

In reply to absolutebeginner:

Jacob (Ladder)
Troll (wall)
Ben (Nevis)
Alder
Lawers

But no seriously, Ben is a good solid name (easy to shout) as you know we went with Jamie. I can't remember how long you get to register the wee fella but we took up to the last day. Tried out new names on a daily basis. As the deadline approached we were on to morning name and afternoon names. finally settled on Jamie as it seemed to fit.

Wait till he's out. It'll be obvious then.

Y will be in touch no doubt.

There's always Farquhar, Findlay and Alisdair. Tarquill or Quentin anybody?

Idwal is quite nice I think.

I think Idwal was a prince who drowned in the Llyn beneath the Slabs.

In reply to Tom Ripley Mountain Guide:

He was a prince and he did drown but was tricked to go swimming in the lake by his 'evil' cousin so the cousin could get all Idwals dads money and land.

Idwals dad found out about the cousins plan and put a curse on the lake. Nothing can ever fly over the lake from one side to the direct opposite.

Its all true honestly. If you dont believe me go and watch the birds above the lake.

In reply to absolutebeginner:
Brodie - means 'man of the earth'
Flynn - means 'son of the red haired one' (but who cares, just a cool sounding name!)

In reply to absolutebeginner: Ras? means prince

In reply to absolutebeginner:

First name: Aleister
Second name: Crowley

In reply to absolutebeginner:

After some careful consideration I think the following all have merits:

Trangia
Vango
Dachstein
Gri-Gri
Bong
Troll
Bivvy & Bothy (incase of twins)
Clag
Mizzle
