Ah Cecilia, patron saint of music! We called our son Ewan, so he would have a Scottish name, but nothing too outlandish for someone born in England (moved to Scotland when he was only 3, though). If anyone asked what or why, I would say "Ewan - as in Ewan McColl" - and mostly (non-folkie people) they'd say "Ewan who?" (Sorry Jim!) My Canadian sister-in-law had never heard the name and having seen it written down came back with "EEEEE-wan? What sort of a name is that?"
