Lost dad. Struggling to agree a name

[ewan1]

Hi, new here, looking for some help.
My wife is due in August, will be our second baby - Cillian Francis is our 2-year old. If it's a baby girl were both happy with Niamh, if it's a boy we're stuck........ Being honest no boys names really stand out for me, I guess I'm just so convinced it's a baby girl were having. So..... my wife is in love with the boys name Cońan, when I see it all I can imagine is the Conan the barbarian. Most don't but I do. Other names she has mentioned are Rońan, Patrick, Sean and Gerard. Gerard being my fav outta those. What do you guys think? And maybe anything you could suggest?

Thanks guys X

Oisin is my favourite Irish boys name. I would pronounce it osh-een (I'm from Ulster but my Irish language knowledge is pretty pants). I have heard the uh-SHEEN pronunciation as well. I like either but think I prefer osh-een.

Cillian is DS's name surely?

I know a Conan (has a slightly different spelling) but he is awesome and really suits his name.

Aidan Patrick
Ardal Patrick
Darragh Patrick
Eamonn Patrick
Fergus Patrick
Eoghan Patrick
Finnbarr Patrick
Lochlann Patrick
Fionn Patrick
Lorccan Patrick
Malachy Patrick

Conan. She grew the baby for 9 months, and she's about to have him (or her) squeeze out of her vagina over several torturous hours (or removed surgically, we don't know). At this stage, she really should have the final say, especially if you don't really mind the name she likes, and don't have a better one that you love.

Next time, you push it out of your vagina, then you can choose, ok?

Feckarseindustries..truely greatfull to my wife for what she's done previous giving me a boy and for what she's about to do, we have always agreed stuff as a couple, if we can't agree I'll happily concede, at this stage I'm quite glad we can discuss it. But thanks for your input.

I think Angus Patrick is an awesome boys name.

Super! You're welcome.

I love Malachy

Also:

Evan (but maybe it's too close to your name?)
Gabriel

Ciaran or Ciar
Calvin
Austin
Roderick

Conan makes me think of Conan the Barbarian too, but it probably won't have that connotation to your son's generation. Personally I like different initials for my children so I'd not have two with the same first letter.

Don't agree that the mum should get the casting vote, and I'm sure you will find the right name for your potential son. Might be worth looking at the Scottish name stats for Gerard to see if it's on the up. Out of fashion names can be quite nice though, easily recognisable but not shared with too many contemporaries.
