We are having such a hard time agreeing on names. Both of us being Irish, originally I did want typical Irish names. Now, after going through loads of them, I hate them all. Surname being 'McKenna' I'm finding is so difficult to find first names that flow haha.

I personally like Leyton and Tait. My partner likes Tommy and Patrick (no way is that happening)

Anyone want to throw some suggestions at me? We both have big families, which is a pain. Made up of mainly boys.

Thanks in advance.

Malachy
Quinn
Jonjo

Fergus
Callan

TheRealFellatio · 03/07/2013 16:38

not sure if I have spelt Callan right - it might be Cailin/Cailan? Confused

TheRealFellatio · 03/07/2013 16:39

I LOVE Paddy and Seamus but I know most Irish people detest them!

Lulu90 · 03/07/2013 16:39

@hardbeingme ah believe me, he's wrecking my head at the moment. I didn't realise the names cause so many arguments haha.

@StitchAteMySleep We have an Ossian and Toran already in the family. I do like Quinn and Elliot though :)

@FeegleFion Kenny McKenna, poor guy haha. Sure, you're winning me over with those 2 though. I'll have to talk to the boss ;)

@forevergreek Jago is a bit 'out there'

@TheRealFellatio you sound too much like my partner. Is he on here somewhere telling you to say that haha. I cant stand Paddy or Seamus, dear god. My poor boys would be traumatised

@Littlecherublegs I love Hayden and Cian (also like Keelan). Ronan isn't too bad either. Don't really like any other the other. Have a Louis and Harry. I love Harrison but it's out of the question because of Harry. My partner loves Joe. I don't.

@forevergreek Rory isn't too bad

I know a Mulligan which is an awesome name.

MerryMarigold · 03/07/2013 18:15

Dylan James

Lulu90 · 03/07/2013 18:43

@MerryMarigold Mulligan is quite nice. I like Dylan James too. But we've recently had a Ryan James in the family. So now I'm not keen on James. Oh deary me haha. Stress stress

actually Mulligan McKenna may be a bit much! Shame. Mull is a great nickname.
My dd is named after a place in her country. Is there any place name you could use? Donnie McKenna?

MerryMarigold · 03/07/2013 18:49

Her fathers country. She is not called harlow!

BlueStarsAtNight · 03/07/2013 20:55

I think Cian and Jude go perfectly. Or Cian and Elliott.

Theironfistofarkus · 03/07/2013 21:05

Declan and Rory?

Alisvolatpropiis · 03/07/2013 21:21

Torin and Rory.

BangOn · 03/07/2013 22:03

Maybe you should take a trip to Leyton, then see if yoi still want to call your son that! It's not cool & edgy like Brooklyn, it's just rough & a bit boring.

dinnersinthedawg · 03/07/2013 22:15

I know twin boys called Lewis and Flynn, think those names go well together.

MerryMarigold · 03/07/2013 22:16

Grin about Leyton. I live v near there and it is as described. ^^^
Asda, B&Q, TK Maxx and lots of fried chicken shops.
I know identical twin boys called Alex and Alec. So, you can surely do better than that!
I still think Cillian is brilliant.
Cillian Patrick McKenna
Jude Dylan McKenna

Foosyerdoos · 03/07/2013 22:22

Innes and Keir
Fergus and Lachlan

bitbot · 03/07/2013 22:23

Caleb?

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 03/07/2013 22:27

Ben and Jerry?

superlambanana · 03/07/2013 22:32

I like Cian and Flynn, or Cian and Quinn.
