Tadhg and Patrick

[zoomtothespoon]

Hey everyone

I'm very early days with DC3 but agreeing a name with DC2 took us so long (we just hated each other's suggestions and only really agreed a girls name) I'm starting to think early.

I'm a mix or British, Mediterranean and Arabic and my DH has an Irish parent (born and raised in Ireland)

Our DC's have taken more after my dark features

I really really really hated the name that he was absolutely set on for a boy, and thought that if it turned out DC2 was a boy then I would just flat out refuse it after the birth. I wasn't about to carry a child for 9 months, give birth then be bullied into naming the baby something I hated. ( he was relentless with the suggestion- it was the only name for him and he absolutely loves it).

The name he loved was Jackson and I'm worried he's going to suggest it again, so need lots of names to throw back at him!

I'm really loving Tadhg at the moment, and have a little soft spot for Patrick!

Can anyone else suggestion other names along those lines, that would appeal to someone who likes Jackson? (DH is very like the SOA character, accept not a gang member... I hope )

Also, do you think children that we could get away with giving our DC an Irish name?

Sean?

I think Tadhg is a great name. Jackson is cool too.

Tadgh is a big bogger name to me. I'm Irish and even I forget how to spell it. With an Irish accent it can be really thick sounding, like,... THIGH-G.

I love Patrick. It's my sons second name as a previous boyfriend was a P so I felt it was just a little too weird to use.

I love Paddy but cannot abide Pat on a man.

I went for an old Irish name too for my son and am riddled with 'how do you say it??' here in the uk. I should have heeded the warnings a little more.
