What are your thoughts on Oran for a boy?

Yes, but only with the Irish spelling.

Love it, seems familiar yet not too popular. But I too prefer the Orin/Orrin spelling - however if you are Irish, I can see that Oran/Odhran makes more sense (I love Hebrew Oren too, but that's not usable in Wales!)

I think it’s beautiful.

I love it. Was on my list, never made the oral connection tbh. Also love Rían if Oran associations are too much!!

MaMelon · 22/06/2021 19:35

I prefer Orin - Oran is too much like oral

Love it, but prefer the Odhrán spelling personally. Think it suits all ages.

It's on my list but I intend to spell it the Irish way. Its a beautiful name. 😍

Probably says a lot more about me than anything else to be fair, sorry...

It’s the strange emo from Parks and Recreation to me.

Oral?

Really sorry if that's offensive especially if it's a cultural thing for you but it's the first thing that came to mind
