You are right actually, it is Irish. I think of it as being German as it is used quite a lot in my DH's hometown due to the fact that Irish monks settled there.

Oops - except that Finland's not in Scandanavia!

Well, I don't have favourite Scand/Germanic boys' names - I have just have those names I have heard of.

I know of a half-Finnish boy called Jaakko, which I think is a lovely name.

MmeLindt do you consider Killian to be Germanic then? I love the name (definitely on the list if we ever need another list!) but I would have thought it was Irish/Gaelic?

I know of a little boy called Malin. Its apparently a girls name in Scandanavia, but think it works well as a boys name too.

My DS2 is Kurt (originally it's a nickname for Konrad.)

Lorenz

Are you looking for typical Germanic names, or names popular at present in Germany?
