Torin - Gaelic / Scottish meaning 'chief'. I know three and they are all adorable wee boys.

Sorry, I forgot the 2 syllable requirement, so remove Sebastian and Cameron.

I only know one Soren who is a girl.

Another boys name I've heard is Merryn

Soren is v nice. Do we think the lack if any Danish connection is a problem? :o

Aargh sorry don't know how to pm

BabysPointlessPocket · 01/12/2012 13:36

I have a ds with a two syllable name ending with n, but It's so rare, it would out me, there is only one other in uk (but popular in Poland and strangely, Hawaii too). Will pm you if I can figure out how to do it on my phone.

There are two versions of Rohan. The Indian version is Row-han, the Irish version is pronounced Row-un and means red-headed I think.

I prefer it spelled Rohan for a boy - Rowan written down would make me think girl.

I always thought Ioan was Eye-an (is it Welsh). Or is that Ieuan, as in Ieuan Evans the rugby player. Or is it Yay-un?

Euan is Scottish, Eunan is Irish. I quite like them all. They are nicer than Owen (or Eoghan or Eoin) which are all much more popular.

I suppose it would depend where you come from which spelling and corresponding pronunciation you would use.

The Ioan I know is "yo-an". Rohan was nicked by J.R.R. Tolkein but is originally a name of Indian or French origin, I think.

I thought Rohan was the home of the horse people in Lord of the Rings?!

Nice for a name though.
