Ds4 is due in 9 weeks and I seem to have name apathy and nothing appeals to me.

It will be an Irish name - one of the more unusual ones probably as exp seems to have a thing for awkward to spell and pronounce names. His favourite is Padraigh (pard-ric) but I stumble over the word ever time I try and say it.

The only name I love he says no to as the shortened version is awful, which it is so I can't argue with him about that.

He will have a common Irish surname.

Prefer not to have a name starting with J, M or C.

Any ideas?

Cheerful I can see the appeal in America!

Rory

CheerfulYank · 29/11/2012 20:14

Oh...that's probably the American in me. :o I know a few little Riordans.

Mu1berries · 29/11/2012 19:50

Neil/Niall for a baby? They are just so.... banal. But I don't hate them. I prefer the spelling Eoin. Eoghan is a bit much for me. riordan is a sur name.

CheerfulYank · 29/11/2012 17:47

Aidan is massively popular here but I've always thought it was nice.

Eoghan? (That's Owen, right? Confused )

I also love Riordan and Seamus.

If you like Toby Keith you should listen to "How Do You Like Me Now"...great eff you song. :o

We have a Kieran and a Kian if the family already although its spelt wrong differently.

Pascal sounds French to me, it is a nice name though - makes me think of a handsome French man with a sexy accent Grin rather than a little freckled ginger dinky boy that i will more than likely have Smile

Ciarán? Love Pascal.

JammySplodger · 29/11/2012 16:07

There's a Kian in DS's class, I always assumed it's Irish, and think it sounds quite nice.

I've just discovered Toby Keith, I'm quite liking American Soldier and Whiskey For My Horses at the moment. I'm feeling rather patriotic and I am not American in the slightest must be hormones

Oh and I LOVE country music as well :)

CheerfulYank · 29/11/2012 15:36

I think Simon did the right thing by Beatrice too. She just wasn't ready, poor little thing.

Carly Rose is very very talented but has had a lot of training, been in numerous stage shows, etc. They seem to leave that part out! :) It doesn't make her any less gifted (because she truly is) but I think a lot of the time our (American) performers have had more training than the contestants I've seen on the UK version.

I think Lorcan is nice. Rugged-sounding.

I love country music (well most of it) so have a soft spot for him. He doesn't look right when he takes his hat off though. I thought Simon got it right when he sent the young girl (Beatrice?) home, she looked under so much pressure. I really don't like Cece though. There seems to be so much more talent in xfactor USA than xfactor, they kept going on about Ella being 16 - some of these girls are 12/13 and could sing rings around her!

I like Tate too Dinosaurs, and Tate Stevens is nice though we all know Carly Rose has it in the bag. Wink

I loved a boy called Lorcan when I was little and have never met a horrible Lorcan

Lorcan...sigh...dreamy

Mu1berries · 29/11/2012 13:19

ps, why are you trying to please your xp? i'd say i'm choosing thank you good bye.

Mu1berries · 29/11/2012 13:17

Diarmuid

that's a fabulous name. I quite like Lorcan too. Wouldn't be mad about Finbar.

Padraig has so many different spellings. I love Patrick though.

BlueChampagne · 29/11/2012 13:13

With regard to Finbarr, Viz is still going ...

Lorcan is good - how about Lachlan?

YouCanBe · 29/11/2012 10:09

I prefer Lorcan to Finnbar myself.

I forgot about this thread Blush - thank you for all the suggestions.

My ds3s name has been suggested a few times best name in the world ever

Lorcan is growing on me, and although I don't like Finn, ex keeps suggesting Finnbar. Would you get laughed st if your name was Finnbar though?
