English husband seemingly hates all Irish boys names.

I love a few but struggling to get him on side.

Oisín
Aidan
Ronan
Enda
Eoghan
Sean

Can you lovely mumsnetters help a girl out with some other suggestions please.

Conor was on our list.

Names like Shane, Daniel etc (I think Daniel has Irish origins?).

How phonetic do you want it to be in English? Are you living in Ireland?

Do you know it’s definitely a boy yet?x

Thanks @MissHenty. Don’t think I’ll get him on side with any of them 🙈 men! 😂

Oisín - nice

Aidan - love

Ronan - hate. Too similar to the very very popular Roman which shots up the charts year on year and will be top 20 soon. Everyone will assume they hear RoMan I’m afraid. It would drive me mad

Enda - not heard of this

Eoghan - dislike

Sean - nice
