Our little man is now a week old and we cannot pin down a name! We are thinking of Evan or Fergus at the moment. I'm worried Fergus will become Fungus at school, DH thinks Evan is a bit dull. Any preferences or other ideas? I have Irish parents so Irish names are a possibility. looking for something a bit unusual but not too wacky.

Fergal? Finlay?

My favourite Irish name is Ruairi/Ruaridh.

Evan and Fergus are both lovely imo. Like Chipped's suggestion of Lorcan.

Evan is lovely x

I like both Evan and Fergus and hadn't thought of "fungus". I don't think of Evan as dull.

Hi OP there are lots of beautiful Irish names, here's my favourites but do have a look online.

Oisin
Turlough
Darragh (easy to say/spell)
Connor
Cathal
Brann

These are the easy ones that most people can say & spell no matter where you are (I assume).

Irish names IMO are lovely because of their meaning as much as their sound.

Do you mind me asking if you live in Scotland? I'm assuming from your post that you don't live in Ireland. I am scottish, currently living in England, but I know of a few little boys called Fergus who live up in Scotland and I haven't heard of them having any problems getting called Fungus. Might be less likely to happen in Scotland (or Ireland) though as the name is more familiar than in other parts of the UK. An Irish name which I think is lovely is Malachy. It might not be to your taste but I think it's gorgeous, just incase it hasn't crossed your mind yet! Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy x
