A brother for Aidan

Hi, looking for some inspiration. We found out recently that we are having another little boy. DS1 is 2 and called Aidan and it was the only name DH and I both agreed on last time, so really struggling for another boys name now. We liked Finley last time but our surname ends with an ey so wasn't sure if it was too samey.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks Smile

Connor is a surname. Conor is the first name.

If you do want another Irish name then maybe:

Cillian
Cormac
Ciaran
Niall
Dara
Finbar
Oisin

If you don't then the following spring to mind as sounding good with Aidan:

Dylan
Charlie
Rory
Max

Valeriemalorie · 01/10/2017 18:29

Similar names to what others have said spring to mind

Connor
Rory
Toby
Dylan
Fynn

TiesThatBindMe · 01/10/2017 18:33

I know an Aidan with brothers Derek and Gavin.

yawning801 · 01/10/2017 18:37

Don't do Connor as there's an Aidan Connor in Coronation Street!

ineedamoreadultieradult · 01/10/2017 18:52

yawning not much of a reason to base naming a child on!

Aidan and Ethan
Aidan and Joseph
Aidan and Toby
Aidan and Daniel

Thank you al for taking the time to reply - it's been really helpful.
DH likes Conor/Connor and Cameron from the list. We had Dylan and Rory on our list last time but friends have since used those names.
I've always liked Ethan. Shay and Ellis are good options too.
Thanks again Smile
