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?

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.

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?
