Irish boys name please - a brother for....

[lurkingmurking]

Ciarán

A girl will definitely be Roisín.

I quite like Eamonn but can't imagine a baby Eamonn.

Watching with interest as am also expecting...DD is Sadhbh so if this is a boy, we've just about settled on Tadhg but some gorgeous suggestions here. If we have another girl, I'm thinking Meabh. We are in the UK, none of these names are hard to say

Dillon?
Ennis?
Fergus? (My favourite)
Lorcan?
Ruari?

Ailbhe has been used for girls recently but is a boys name. Suppose it has become unisex. Much like Naoise

lurking..... What about these?

Lorcan
Canice
Phelim (think the 'e' is pronounced 'ay')
Fintan
Se (Shay)
Ruadhan
Ruairi
Emmett
Eunan

Loads of irish boys' names begin with C which was our prob as our surname begins with C so we went for Fintan..

Happy Choosing :)

sorry hopeless with Fada's etc......

Naoise for a boy . Like ?

Turlough

Like in Deirdre of the sorrows.
Naoise is a mans name

Tiernan?

My DH has a lesser known Irish name - when we lived in the uk (and australia and New Zealand) it was a right PIA for him - no one got it right and in the end he had to keep saying it s ultan as in Sultan to everyone! So definately if you re not living in a gaelic country think about the bother with spelling and pronunciation for you and the child!
(didnt stop us giving our ds a similar name ha ha ... reminds me of that johnny cash song ... boy named sue!!)

My son is called Niall love it and its such a great name

Love threads like this - I am very proud of my heritage and my sons names reflect that. I get a bit when I see the names of my boys lumped in with the 'chavvy/ naughty' threads.
Seeing all these gorgeous names a) makes me glad over again that I chose the names I did and b) slightly broody that I wont have any more so that I can choose another lovely name

Thanks everyone - some amazing names here!

How is Naoise pronounced?

Daragh/Dara is definitely creeping up the list.

Neesha

I love Dara.

Naoise is Neesha - I dont think it works ifyou are in the UK, but its sweet.

Ciaran & Cormac
Ciaran & Callum - too matchy?
Ciaran & Oisin
Ciaran & Pearse
Ciaran & Finnian

Oh piaras is lovely!

We named our boys Finnbar and Cormac - also wanted the ease of spelling option since we are likely to end up overseas.

Love love love Finbarr and Cormac!

Oh, just thought of another one you might like - Dónal

I'd be very excited to meet a real life Setanta. I'd expect him to be in full on mythical warrior mode, chest beating and the like.

I still like Ferdia.
