Would love some opinions on the following two names.
For context, I'm Irish living in England with my English husband.

Oran (pronounced Oar-an)
Rory

I love Rory.

I prefer the Odhran spelling, but I can see why you'd go for Oran in England.

Going on the meanings, is he more likely to have dark or red hair? Wink

Either Grin

I wouldn't spell Oran like that. Is it meant to be Adhran? Because that spelling would be okay.

I like both. Never heard of Oaran but I think I actually prefer it.
