Little boy is nameless!

Ok, our little boy came early and doesn't have a name. Shortlist below. We're in Ireland and are veering towards an Irish name but not sure - opinions from Irish mumsnetters particularly welcome:

Faolan (means little wolf, I like the idea of having a little wolf...) pronounced fway-lawn
Sebastien - probably with nickname Seb
Art
Rian

I'm Irish - never heard of Foalan. Think you'll spend a lot of time explaining how to pronounce/spell it TBH. It sounds nice though.

I love Art and Rian.

ok what about Fergus?

Apachepony · 09/07/2016 23:03

So far, Faolan is slightly ahead! Thanks for the opinions. I like fergal but can't use it. Any more thoughts welcome!

Fergal. That is all.

Congratulations on your little boy! I'm Irish and think Faolan is a fantastic name. My second favourite from you list would be Art, for its sheer simplicity.

Definitely the wolf one!

I like Faolan, I've never heard it before.
