Having trouble finding the perfect name....and this baby will be here soon. We have a three-syllable surname, so want just one or two syllables for the first name. Haven't found out if we are having a girl or a boy. Have one DS, Patrick. I am from an Irish family, so like Irish names, (I am English though, so is DH, we live in the UK) but easily recognisable ones - Patrick fit the bill perfectly last time! Doesn't have to be an Irish name however. Would prefer to avoid names that are very popular, but not keen on going for very outlandish ones. I am a teacher, so frequently think of names I like, and then associate them with naughty children! Am finding it very difficult this time round! Any suggestions?

Niamh or Maeve for a girl?

Rowan, Asher or Luke for a boy? Can't think of any Irish boys' names I like offhand, sorry.

I really like the name Patrick, how about Sean, Aiden, Declan or Malachy.

I like Honor and Orla for a girl.

I really like Conal for a boy. Cos its different without being weird.

I love Eoghan and Aidan and either of them would be great with Patrick. So would Fergus. For a girl I agree that Orla is beautiful. I'll also suggest Fionnuala, although it's not the easiest to prenounce. Good luck with you impending arrival!
