Jack and Olivia were the most popular names. But there was no shortages of less traditional choices.

Girl names on the list included Bella-Caledonia, Bonnie-Darling, Breeze, Divine, Heaven, Little, Lucky, Pepper and Porsche.

Other baby girls got landed with Ultra-Violet, Tuppence, Rainbow, Sailor, Scout, Vogue and Queen-Johanna.

Many parents opted to name their kids after famous figures, with boys including Einstein, Elvis, James-Dean and Peter-Gabriel.

There was also a Stewie, the name of the scheming baby in TV’s Family Guy.

One boy was called Ricksen, perhaps after ex-Rangers star Fernando and there was a Novak, as in tennis ace Djokovic.

Place names included a boy called Kelso and girls Amazon, Boston-Blu, Dash, Duke, Hero, King, Little-One, Marvelous, Oak, Roar, Royal and Thor. Bella-Caledonia, Bonnie-Darling, Breeze, Divine, Heaven, Kalypso, Little, Lucky, Pepper and Porsche. named Paisley-Rose, Aberdeen, Atlanta and Cuba.

There was a record low of baby Donalds – perhaps in reaction to Trump being in the White House.

Justine Roberts, of parenting site Mumsnet, said: “One piece of advice is to consider whether the name would still work if the child became a high court judge.”

Smith, Brown and Wilson remain the three top surnames in Scotland. ●DO you or you child have an unusual name? Contact the newsdesk on 0141 309 3251
