What's Orla's brother called?

BouncyBabyNumber2 · 13/02/2023 20:21

Currently 13 weeks pregnant with our second baby and I'm fairly convinced it's a boy . . . I know, I know, it's 50-50, but I'm still thinking ahead and panicking slightly as I don't love any of the boys names we've thought of so far!

What are your suggestions for a boys name that works well with sibling name 'Orla', doesn't have too many 'n'a as it won't work with my surname, and an Irish or Welsh name would be a bonus due to family roots?

I quite like:

Tadhg (pronounced Tai-ig)
Keir
Cory
Rory
Toby

Would love your ideas and opinions, thank you!

Connell or Ruaridh (I pronounce this Rury in Scotland but think may be pronounced Rory in England)

My immediate thought was Rory too.

From your list, Orla and Cory and Orla and Rory are both a bit of a mouthful with the double or sound. The others are all great.
I know an Orla and Elliot and also an Orla and Declan.
