What are your favourites, please? Would like something slightly unusual (not ‘yoonique’, just not super common). No fadas or anglicisations (nothing with a K, for example).

Please let me know some that you like.

Where are you based? What names do you like?
Is the surname going to rule out certain names?
When is the baby due? Are there some names you won't be able to use because of siblings/close friends/cousins?

The names that I'm thinking of are very popular in Ireland, but not in the UK. (e.g.Tadhg, Fionn, Ruairi)

We’re in central London. I really like Niall, Ruadhán (but don’t want fadas), Enda and Torin. I like Ruairi, DH not so keen.

Mixed culture double barrelled last name. Think Daly-Chaudry.
