If we like Brian what else do you suggest?

[TheDancingPriest]

I'm pregnant with a boy and we both like older names, but not ones that end in "y" or "ie". I don't like nicknames as full names but don't have any preferences about whether a name can be shortened.
We'd like a name that suits an adult, as he'll only be a baby for a very short time.
We're in Ireland and Brian is a top 100 name, but popularity doesn't really bother me. I can't think of much else I like - any suggestions?

Colin? Steven/Stephen Stuart

[PelvicFloorClenchReminder]

Derek?

Francis, Martin, Barry, Neil

[HaleMary]

Briain? Or are you not considering Irish names?

[WankerDeAsalWipe]

Alan
Andrew
Donald
Hugh
Douglas
Ian
Kevin
Graham
Gordon
Roy (ends in a y but not in the way I think you mean)

[TheDancingPriest]

Irish names would be great as well, if we ever have a girl I'd like to call her Róisín so a boys' name that goes well with that would be nice!
What do you think of Cathal?

[WankerDeAsalWipe]

I like Cathal, I also like Cormac :)

[TheDancingPriest]

WankerDeAsalWipe, I quite like Roy, although it reminds me of a children's TV show over here. You know what I mean about "y" and "ie", it's more names like Freddy/ie, Alfie and Charlie that I don't like because they're shortened versions of full names.

I like Daithi, Malachi and Cormac from the "Irish" side but also like Stephen, Samuel (Uel rather than Sam as nn) and Dan(iel)
