OK here is my DH's list:

Cillian
Remy
Rudy
Bosco

Here is my list:

Noah
Gabriel
Inigo
Sam

Here is a list of names we both (very grudgingly) MIGHT accept:

Malachy
Inaki (should have tilde (squiggle) on the n but don't know how to type it)
Tadgh
Rory/Ruari

DH is Irish btw

Any suggestions or preferences much appreciated - be as brutal as you like!

If you call him Inigo he will forever have 'my name is inigo montoya blah blah blah' quoted at him.

Noah too popular.

From your joint list, and as you do have Irish roots, I'd go for Malachi (I thought it was spelled with an 'i' at the end?).

Has Fergus been discounted already?

ha ha TOTALLY agree about Bosco - and you should hear some of the other ridiculous things he has suggested (Reef, Mowgli, I could go on and on)

ILGH - have tried the whole post-birth blackmail thing with him twice and it hasn't worked so-far - but I will remain optimistic...

Gabriel or Ruari

Bosco - awful

Oh, and good luck with the imminent birth. Insist on naming him after you've given birth - the emotional blackmail potential is amazing - worked for me 3 times!

Rory from the joint list.

I like your list, Gabriel in particular, but not your DH's, although I do know a sweet boy called Remy.

I did at Bosco I'm afraid.
