Found out I'm having a Boy & initially decided on the name Ruairi but I'm just wanting to see if their is anything else I like before committing to it

Bertie :)
well actual name will be Robert following a family tradition on DH's side but I love Bertie for a nickname. It's how he will be known till he's old enough to choose another version of Robert if he prefers.
I should say if it's a boy! We find out on Monday. No idea for girls names atm.

That's my sons name Panda (the first post) and it's lovely but no one has ever been able to spell it!

How about Cormac?

Also love Heath and Dashiell

Oh, I like Rory but I'd spell it Rory unless you're Scottish or Irish. And even then, the Irish put a d on the end of it and the Scottish don't so Rory is much easier. I like Diarmuid and Cormac too, in that style. I'm sure my first list is not at all to your taste!

Smuk Dp is Irish & I wanted something that goes with his very Irish surname & I much prefer the Irish spelling

Also I thought it was the Welsh version that has a 'D' on the end

I know a young man called Bertie, short for Robert. He hates it, and calls himself Rob instead. All his friends call him Rob, only his parents call him Bertie.
