Irish boys names?

67 replies

Can anyone recommend Irish boys names that aren't countdown conundrums and can't be easily pronounced by English people?

I quite like Cian (key-inn) but DH doesn't. Something short and sweet

Senan and Dara are quite popular among my kids friends at the minute. I know they're not C names. Conall floats about too, I have a secret longing for Cathal Grin
