Hi,
My sister in law (and the family) are currently debating possible boys names for her unborn baby. She has the girls name sussed.
They would prefer it to be Irish as brother in law's family are Irish.
What do you think of the following (We will add in your thought to our family 'discussion'!)

Aidan
Murphy
Cormac
Derry (if baby is a red head)

Thanks

Please do not let them call their baby Murphy. It's synonymous with spuds.

Aidan, Cormac and Derry are really nice (Derry has nothing to do with red hair though). Daragh is popular in Ireland.

Rory
Ruadhan
both refer to red hair

Ailbe
Senan
Patrick
Caoilte
Seamus
Donal
Oisin
Killian/ Cillian
Ronan
Finbar
Fintan
Fionn
Diarmuid
Declan
Lorcan
Conn
Cathal
Conall
Conor
Conan

are a few suggestions

Oh... I love Murphy.

I have a Ciaran, a Brennan (was to be Brendan), a Brogan (but she's a girl) and a Tate - all good strong Irish names!
