Boys names - two syllables and ending in 'n'

[Obstreperous]

Rowan
Robin
Euan
Evan
Ivan
Marlon
Ethan

...?

And everyone's rightly laughed at my last two suggestions.

Any names jumping out at you OP?

I did guess that Obstreperous . But I was wondering why those requirements. I was trying to think of a surname that needed an n before it, or whether you were trying to match a girl's name you already had, or something.

Maybe you already have six girls called Jordan, Lauren, Kaylin, Ashton, Dyllynn (apparently exists ) and Robin [hopeful]

Oops - I had an irony bypass recently so I may be a little slow on the uptake.

Basically we have a ridiculously long double-barrelled surname and forrin connections which means we have to avoid too many consonants. We have one older DS (sadly not rhyming!) whose name ends in an -a sound. We need to avoid those ending in an -o sound because of our surname.

So I thought two syllables with an -n ending might work...

Logan

I quite like Leon, but DS1's name is so wildly popular that I thought it might be nice to go for something a little more unusual. Which is why I recently suggested Conan to DH...but everyone's laughed at that!

That's ok . You really didn't have to explain, I was just being nosy.

It's difficult this naming business, especially if you have a very common/very unusual or very long/short surname.

We ruled out a lot of names because of the surname. And ended up with all two syllable names by coincidence.

If you like Conan, what about Conal? I know it doesn't end in n, but it might do.

Ioan
Rohan

I thought Rohan was the home of the horse people in Lord of the Rings?!

Nice for a name though.

How is Ioan pronounced?

It's a fecking nightmare, this naming business! had a perfect girl's name lined up, but 'twas not to be.

Think the name Rohan is pronounced Rowan, Scrambled

Lennon
Kianon

ds has a friend named Tallon

Aaron/Arran
Euan/Ewan
Corbin

Callan

The Ioan I know is "yo-an". Rohan was nicked by J.R.R. Tolkein but is originally a name of Indian or French origin, I think.

There are two versions of Rohan. The Indian version is Row-han, the Irish version is pronounced Row-un and means red-headed I think.

I prefer it spelled Rohan for a boy - Rowan written down would make me think girl.

I always thought Ioan was Eye-an (is it Welsh). Or is that Ieuan, as in Ieuan Evans the rugby player. Or is it Yay-un?

Euan is Scottish, Eunan is Irish. I quite like them all. They are nicer than Owen (or Eoghan or Eoin) which are all much more popular.

I suppose it would depend where you come from which spelling and corresponding pronunciation you would use.

I have a ds with a two syllable name ending with n, but It's so rare, it would out me, there is only one other in uk (but popular in Poland and strangely, Hawaii too). Will pm you if I can figure out how to do it on my phone.

Aargh sorry don't know how to pm

Moran

Aidan and all the made up names that rhyme with it.
