Callan is a thousand times nicer

Callan definitely from a non-NI perspective.

I really don’t like Donnacha - it sounds and looks very heavy and lumpen and I dislike that it starts with Donna - that’s all I can see really is a pretty naff 70s-80s girls name! Don’t like Don as a short form, like Cal as a short form.

But I’m from a different part of the UK so to someone based in NI/Ireland the connotations and sound may feel totally different!
