| The Gaelic languages are so tricky. And I even studied a bit of Irish. |

| I have a Calum! Sadly he spends his life spelling it to people who are used to the trendy 'Callum' :o( |

| I'm guessing that Eoin comes out as Ewan in English spelling. Right? |
 | nightfloat: | Feb 6th, 2013 at 11:15 GMT | | 2 points |
| Close - those names always confuse me and I had to look it up! Ewan is actually a form of Eoghan which is (according to the source) of uncertain derivation: http://www.behindthename.com/name/ewan |

| As a Scottish American, it's a shame how Anglicized/Americanized the first names in my family are. |

| I hate tobe a pedant but: Although indigenous to Scotland, the language is called Gaelic |

| Can we clarify that these are the Gaelic forms, not the Scottish forms. |

| I think it's interesting that the only one which seems to be more common in it's Gaelic form than the anglicized version is Calum. At least where I live, I come across more Calums than Columbas. I can't say the same for any other name on the list. |

| Alasdair and Alexander are possibly verging on equally common woodchucker?
Alasdair and Calum will be the only names on the list still in common use though I'd think. There are a few Padraig's mostly in Ireland (Harrington being an obvious one) and Eoin Jess was a famous relatively recent footballer but not many of the others are still in common use. |

| Padraig is also a derivation of Peter |

| Dang, who knew I was so fluent in Scottish? I only missed three. Much easier for me than the other quiz of this nature I did (French, I think). |

| Happy to get them all right although, being a Scot, I'd be miffed if I didn't. And all those being pedantic about it being Scots or Gaelic, look at the name of the quiz 'pick the Scottish Gaelic' form. |

| This is one of those quizzes where I wish there was an undo button, as soon as I'd hit the button for Elizabeth I spotted the correct answer. Really good quiz though x |

| Quite a few of these names were wrongly translated e.g Calum is the Gaelic form of Malcolm. And how many Olafs or Valentines do you meet in Stornoway or Inverness. Most of it was just guesswork. |

| The name Eoin (or Eoghan) is much more prominent in Irish Gaelic...however might I suggest changing it to Iain (or Ian) which is also a derivation of John and much more widely found in Scotland. |

| I know an Irish George who goes by Seoirse; maybe a difference beween Scottish-Gaelic and Irish-Gaelic? Very interesting quiz. |

| I always thought that Malcolm was the Anglised vprm of Callum. |
| OwenHerring: | Mar 9th, 2013 at 08:11 GMT | | 3 points |
| Seoras is a more common version of George. When I was growing up in Scotland, the only thing we could understand in the Gaelic news on the radio was when there was an item which mentioned 'Seoras Harrison, Beatle'. |
| nightfloat: | Mar 9th, 2013 at 11:42 GMT | | 4 points |
| According to the given source, Malcolm means "disciple of Columba" from Máel Coluim. Calum itself is directly Columba. Why not check the source? |

| The title couldn't just be Gaelic forms because there are different gaelic languages which are similar but not the same e.g. Irish |
