I am looking for a less common Irish boys name. I already have a Pádraig, well know but not very popular, 20/30 per year going by the CSO

In the family we already have Peadar, Fionn, Tadhg, Cathal, Cillian, Seán, Odhran.

If baby is a girl she'll be called Fionnuala.

Also we are Irish living in Ireland. I loved Ruairí the last time but I was worried he would be called Rory a lot.

My son was going to be Iarla or Naoise.

I also love Ferdia.

I like Tiarnán, though every single one I've known was a terrile pain in the ass.

I love Oisín but that's mega popular here, I also like Rossa, not very popular, and Finley but not sure if that's more Scottish
