Looking for something nice in a boys' name. My dd1 has a lovely irish first name and as we all got a lovely English surname thanks to DH I'd like to keep the balance. But I just can't find one I like...any inspiration out there?

I like Tadhg too, but similarly DH will have none of it. I couldn't blame him though because the only Tadhg he's ever known was a total and utter asshole whereas I've known lots of lovely Tadhgs to balance it out.

I love Daragh. DS1 would have been Daragh, except DH's cousin got there first
