Please rate my boys names-Irish mn's opinions appreciated too!

[vinobaroness]

Hi, I am currently in week 11 with my first babs, mothers intuition is telling me its a boy(obviously could be completely wrong!)

My favourite boys name is Oscar but I feel it is getting v popular in Ireland... Other names are

-Charles(Charlie)
-Harry
-Elliot
-Dexter(what is the lowdown on Dexter, is it too trendy & set to date badly)
-Setanta
-Mylo
-Blaise
-Rocco(like Dexter too trendy???)
-Fiachra(old Irish name)

Any help would be appreciated as its driving me insane at the moment! Also on a different note how many of you predicted the sex of your baby in first trimester & were correct? Only 11 weeks but instinct is saying boy!

Ah bless Eamonn is super cute,so uncommon now for babies!! I grew up with lots of Eamonn's:)

I love, LOVE the name Setanta and my husband likes it too... we are Irish and we don't watch much TV though so for us it's no different than thinking of, say, the TV channel "Dave" - we can separate it fairly easily. But we have a 3-syllable last name and maybe a 6-syllable name is just too much of a mouthful for a wee lad.

I also love Finn, and we are thinking to call our soon-to-be-born baby boy Finbarr (family name on my husband's side, and also patron saint of his home town!) and maybe Finn for short.

Oisin. Very cool.

Ha Nymia I presume he is a Corkonian so!! Finbarr is fab, such an old strong name & Finn is just fab. My hubby is still gunning from Oscar & I do like it alot too & it matches our last name well.
Devora I love Oisin too but the only thing is I don't think it travels well especially with the fadas which I havn't a clue how to do on the computer!!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but arrgggh! Just found out who Oscar was in Irish mythology, was already a name on my short list but has now shot right up to the top due to having meaning for both me and dh - but is it really so v popular? I didn't realise, I don't know any children called Oscar. I see it is still at 62 in Irish 2011 name list, which is higher than I would like but still not too high...I'm guessing though a lot of little oscars are in middle class Dublin? Grrr, dh really wants an Irish name, I'm not so sure, especially as fionn and Oisin were too of my favourites but are out (although linked to Oscar in legend!)

Son likely to move in mc dublin circles, hence the issue, don't want loads at his school!

Fiachra is cool, as is Blaise. I know a Milo and he's ace (although he's actually a Michael but nobody has called him that ever as far as I know.lol)

not from d4 but SoCoDu, will that do!?

I know a few oscars. Usually have a brother called Felix. prefer felix!
Most of your names are quite normal and popular. I like charlie but there are a fair few of them aren't there. do you mind that?
I would spell Milo with an I. I only know one Milo. I don't know any Blaises! that sounds like my late granddad swearing.
Setanta!? well, I wouldn't have the nerve myself. But if you are a gardener or work in tv or you send your children to the gaelscoil, maybe you can pull it off! I couldn't I know that. Amanda Brunker has a Setanta.

Fiachra is ok, wouldn't pick it. Too close to 'fiacla' but then only Irish people would know that.
