Baby's name to go with Boyle

[JBoyle]

I'm struggling to think of boys names (girls names are so much easier) for our first baby - surname is Boyle and we'd like something vaguely Irish/of Irish origin. Any ideas? Thanks :-)

[squoosh]

Do you have any names on your list at all?

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

Not Lance.



James is nice?

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

Seamus is better than James if you want Irish though.

[LineRunner]

Joseph Boyle

[JBoyle]

Thanks :-) I really like Joseph but my nephew is called that!

[squoosh]

Cillian
Ferdia
Cormac
Dara
Cian
Conal
Fergal

[squoosh]

Or what about Maolsheachlann or Toirdhealbhach. Can't see any problems arising with those names.

[AppleSnapple]

Oh squoosh that just gave me a well needed chuckle!

[punygod]

Susan

Frankie

[Blanketontheground]

Patrick or the Irish spelling of the same.

[JBoyle]

He he - thanks!! The spellings can be a bit tricky can't they?!

[TeWiSavesTheDay]

Michael

[dementedpixie]

I know a Callum and an Aaron with that surname

[Blanketontheground]

I second cormac. It's a name I've only recently heard as there's one in my daughters play group. Irish, unusual but not odd and lovely.

[Purplehonesty]

Doyle.

Or Cameron

Or surname is a mc scottish one and we told everyone we were naming ds something like Donald McDonald - most people were very polite and said ooh how nice! Only my mum snorted.

[Tattiesthroughthebree]

Not Jimmy.

[wigglesrock]

Conor
Ronan
Lorcan
Fintan

[TongueBiter]

Colm (sp?)

[HolyTerror]

Fergus, Macdara, Traolach, Cormac, Aodh, Diarmaid, Cathal, Ferdia, Feilim, Iarla, Cillian, Naoise.

[hollyisalovelyname]

Tarlach
Breifne
Seoirse
Definitely not Ryall though.

[WhatsGoingOnEh]

Lance Boyle would be brilliant, in a "Boy Named Sue" character-building kind of way.

[RJnomore]

Frankie.

It has the added advantage of being unisex.

[mathanxiety]

Eamon
Brendan
Ciaran/Kieran
Colman
Owen/Eoin
Lochlann
Malachi
Oisin
Rory/Ruairi

[JBoyle]

Many thanks all for these suggestions - definitely some food for thought here. I am now leaning towards more classic and less Irish - am worried about the spellings...
