Irish boys names

[RuggerHug]

Still trying to decide(I'm 40 weeks +) and I really would love to use an Irish name. DH was terrible at it and we're trying to find ones that are pronounced as they're spelt as much as possible. I'm leaning towards Finn or Dara now but trying to think what other ones could be used. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks muchness

Fergal
Oisin
Finbar

Isn't Dara the female spelling? I know female Dara's and males are Darragh.

Open to correction though! (Have always wondered about the comedian Dara O'B)

Conor
Patrick

Oran
Cian
Dara
Conan
Senan
Luan
Ultan

No Dara is often used for boys.

Evan
Declan

My favourite is Eanna, but might be hard to pronounce correctly

I love how quickly these all came in! Thank you! My brain hasn't been working at full capacity at I could only think of fadá laden ones

Are you Irish?

I'm not (but I am a Celt) and I'm really thinking of using Fergal for this baby (I'm 24w pregnant).

I don't know what the consensus is on using Irish names when not Irish (sorry for the thread detail OP)

Ciaran
Oisin
Rian
Sean
Cathal
Cian
Donnacha

Legend we are (part of the reason I'm at DHs inability to pronounce so many). I had a boss Fergal in my last job so I associate it with him, it's a lovely name though

Cormac
Ferdia

TheLegendOfBeans just tell everyone you're a Feargal Sharkey mega fan.

Niall
Cian
Cillian
Malachi
The proper irish spelling (I'm not sure what it is though) of Donagh
Eoghan

Honestly, I could do this all day, they're all so lovely!! How I wish I was more than half Irish so I could legitimately use Irish names for my (not yet in existence) babies!!

Love Dara / Darragh!

Ronan. Biased as I have one

The Dara I know is short for Macdara. Adding and seconding Brendan, Rory, Kieran, Aiden, Cian and I have always loved Conn (but DH vetoed it :()

I have a lovely little Finn and I'm really hoping that my sister who's due in 3 week' time doesn't use Dara. If she doesn't, I'll use it for a boy or a girl!
I also like Tadhg and Fergus.

You have no idea how close to the truth you are, lady x

Jarlath.

@Alcea Darragh is the English spelling of Dara. It's one of the few Irish names where the Irish spelling is simpler. Either spelling is used for boys or girls.
