Brother for Oisín..

Hi there!
Looking for opinions on a boys name we already have an Oisín. Shortlist is as follows:

Fionn
Oscar
Taghg

We are Irish, living in Ireland would like to keep to an Irish name I think as DH and I both have Irish names so think it might be nice to keep that trend in our family?

We both really love Oscar, I know for many it doesn't appear to be an Irish name (but does have a great Irish history and meaning behind it).. but I do love the other two names too so we are finding it hard to narrow it down further!

With regards to popularity that really doesn't bother me too much, however Oscar would be the least popular of these three in Ireland.

Any opinions on the above? Thankfully we just have one girls name we both love so that side is sorted but struggling for a boy!

Thanks Smile

Oisín and Oscar may be a bit of an mouthful?
I’ve always loved Fiachra

Both names starting with the initial O will be tricky for opening post in future!

I should say any other name suggestions welcome too! Incase there is a gem we haven't thought about.Smile

Oscar is lovely but Tadgh is my favorite with Oisin.

All nice names. Oscar is lovely, but I know of several baby boys named that recently (South Dublin suburb).
