Tadhg and Patrick

Hey everyone

I'm very early days with DC3 but agreeing a name with DC2 took us so long (we just hated each other's suggestions and only really agreed a girls name) I'm starting to think early.

I'm a mix or British, Mediterranean and Arabic and my DH has an Irish parent (born and raised in Ireland)

Our DC's have taken more after my dark features

I really really really hated the name that he was absolutely set on for a boy, and thought that if it turned out DC2 was a boy then I would just flat out refuse it after the birth. I wasn't about to carry a child for 9 months, give birth then be bullied into naming the baby something I hated. ( he was relentless with the suggestion- it was the only name for him and he absolutely loves it).

The name he loved was Jackson and I'm worried he's going to suggest it again, so need lots of names to throw back at him!

I'm really loving Tadhg at the moment, and have a little soft spot for Patrick!

Can anyone else suggestion other names along those lines, that would appeal to someone who likes Jackson? (DH is very like the SOA character, accept not a gang member... I hope Wink)

Also, do you think children that we could get away with giving our DC an Irish name?

Good call vetoing the Jaxon spelling.

I like both Tadhg and Patrick.

I should add- he wanted to spell it Jaxon and my only provisional agreement was that it was to be spelled Jackson
