Scottish naming system

The Irish system was similar. It wasn't always used and sometimes a second or middle name was used instead, but if it was, it went like this:

BOYS

  1. First son named after father's father

  2. Second son named after mother's father

  3. Third son named after father

  4. Fourth son named after father's oldest brother

  5. Fifth son named after second oldest brother or mother's eldest brother

GIRLS

  1. First daughter named after mother's mother

  2. Second daughter named after father's mother

  3. Third daughter named after mother

  4. Fourth daughter named after mother's oldest sister

  5. Fifth daughter named after second oldest sister or father's oldest sister
