I'm really struggling with names for this little one (boy); still a way to go but absolutely love the name Ira "Eye-rah" until someone asks you to spell it and it's I-R-A

Would this put you off?

A few people have said just to add an H on the end or spell it differently but I really hate 'made up' spellings of names!

Any suggestions on similar names to go with Leo are more than welcome.

Reminds me of the crocodile loving baddie from Romancing The Stone.

I'm afraid I think IRA too. Sorry.

I personally think of the IRA when I hear it or see it, yes. Especially when written.

Do you want something short? Jake, Ezra, Joel, Rory, Kit, Adam, Felix, Otto, Rhys, Jonah, Sol, Elias...
