The names of babies born in Scotland in 2021 have just been released, and as I was browsing I noticed a lot of double-barrel first names. I decided to make a list of them all here. Some of them are pretty standard, others unusual, some shockingly nice, and others definitely not for me. There are also of course a lot more double-barrel girl names than boy names, so brace yourself for a long list.
