Orrin, Torrin or Sorren

[theAntsareMyFriends]

I'm aware that they sounds like a set of Dwarves in a Tolkein novel but I love these names. I could only use one but can't chose my favourite so which one do you like the most/least and why.

Orrin/Oren/Oran
Torrin
Sorren
Corin (possibly, I don't think I like it as much as the others)
Orion

You can be as rude as you like but please give a reason if you can.

Thank you

I am pretty sure Torin is not Irish either.

It is Finnish for square though.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Torin is Irish in origin, not Scottish.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I knew a Welsh Torin, he'd be mid/late teens now.

[TillyTolly]

Really liked Corin and it was in the running for us until it occurred to me that I sounded like Dr Shakomoto saying 'Colin' and now it's ruined forever.

[Stollenlover]

I really like Torin and also Corin - strong, cool and not overused.

[mrsjskelton]

Corin sounds a little like Jonathan Ross is trying to say Colin and Sorren just reminds me of the malt loaf. I think Torin is unusual and a bit more compatible with being an adult! Lots of parents going for unusual names neglect to think of how it would sound on a job application!

[IncidentalAnarchist]

Torin is Scottish...

[MrsTerryPratchett]

What happened there?

[MrsTerryPratchett]

I LOVE Corin and know one. As you like it innit?

Sorren is malt loaf.

[MrsTerryPratchett]

I LOVE Corin and know one. As you like it innit?

Sorren is malt loaf.

Yup, US Repubican senator from Utah, Orrin Hatch.

Torrin (and Torin) is too close to 'torrid'.
Orrin sounds like a madey uppey Mormon name.

Soren is great and you don't need the line through the O.

Coren would be nice too, but it's a made up American name.
Corin is not Irish, and Torin is not Scottish. (She knows . com is not a reliable source for baby name meanings).

What about:
Owen
Arran
Oran (Irish spelling is Odhran)
Armin
Euan
Ethan
Holden
Corbin
Fintan
Jensen
Albin
Aneurin
Arlen
Austin

[quitecrunchy]

I'd go for Oran

[MajesticWhine]

I know of a Toren / Torin and I quite like that. Not too sure about the others.

[TheWordOfBagheera]

Know of an Oren, and think that's the best spelling. Orion is nice too.

[Sophronia]

I love Torin and Soren with these spellings.

[Surf25]

fwiw the Torrin and Torren that I know are a toddler and a high schooler respectively. Both Scottish also.

[Surf25]

Torrin/Torren just because it's a great name!

[celtictoast]

I like Torin and Corin.

[Crazypetlady]

Tyrion is also lovely.

[TyrionLannistersShadow]

Odhran is a fairly popular irish name (pronounced either Ore-en or Ore -awn depending on whether you put a fada over the a) but it's sometimes anglicised as Oren or Oran which might be easier to spell :)

[Tuiles]

I like Oren, it made my shortlist. But it means Orange in Welsh so got removed. Owen and Evan are good (though more popular) alternatives

Oshian was also on my list with good Celtic/Gaelic connections.

Corin I also like. Soren is cute.

Alban was something I considered.

[FuckingCrumbs]

Soren is a fantastic name. If we ever had another boy this would 100% be the name (never going to happen). Please use it.

I think Seren is a girls name.

[IncidentalAnarchist]

Seren is a girls name meaning star...
