Gaelic boys names

34 replies

Our favourite boys names are Ruairidh and Aedan. Any other Gaelic influenced boy name suggestions? We prefer names which arent too "out there"

Any help appreciated GrinFlowers

I love the name Conn - unfortunately can’t use it as it’s BIL’s name and he would think we’d named the child after him 😂.

Also Donnacha - was on the short list for DC1 before we found it she was a girl.

I love Scottish gaelic names. Where I went to school, a lot of my classmates had gaelic as first language and gaelic names.

Eachann (Hector)
Ossian (though technically not Scottish gaelic)
Tasgall
Fergus
Blair

I love Struan, my husband disagreed and said no.

Padraig, the Irish for Patrick. Sorley, which is the anglicisation of Somhairle, from the Old Norse Somarliðr meaning ‘summer traveller’.

My family is Scottish, my husband's Irish. So I tend to prefer Scottish names but he doesn't agree!

Some great suggestions here thanks everyone Flowers

By Gaelic I assume you mean Scottish, rather than Irish?

Alasdair
Dougal
Blair
Niall
Kirk
Iain

mintich · 11/03/2018 07:06

When you say Gaelic were you looking for names from any particular country?
