Help us pick a name for Liam’s brother!

Our first sons name is Liam Sebastian. We love it for a lot of reasons. Hubby is Irish, both names have nice meanings, and Sebastian is a family name on my side. Sadly, this time around nothing is standing out. For a girl I’m set on Fiona.

Here is what we like so far.

Graham: we live in the US people say it gram which I know is not the case many places.
Oliver: Liam’s almost name. It’s so popular and I don’t want another top ten name preferably.
Owen: same problem as Oliver
Callum: is this too similar to Liam? Cause I love it with the nick name Cal.
Charles: my husband is insistent on calling him Chuck. I can’t let that happen!
Jack: not my husbands favorite but I love it.

Which, if any, of these do you like with Liam? If you could suggest some others we might like I would greatly appreciate it! We prefer non-biblical names and don’t care for gender neutral names either.

Thanks!

Before I read your post I was going to suggest Callum, it goes great and doesn't sound too similar but it does tie them together nicely.

Callum dies bout sound good in an American accent as they stretch out the last syllabul. In fact both syllables.

Callum and Liam is great or Kal as a name on its own?

Sean as an Irish name or Seth as a more American name.

Daragh Patrick

MrsSchadenfreude · 30/01/2018 23:26

Colm.

RedLemonade · 30/01/2018 23:40

I’d go Colm too (Irish equivalent of Callum).
Connor goes well with Liam too.
How about Conall (short “o”)?

mollymawk · 30/01/2018 23:44

Liam and Jake

Littlelambpeep · 30/01/2018 23:46

Buntysoven · 31/01/2018 00:05

I know a Connor and Liam combo so it seems very natural to me.

stopbeingadramallama · 31/01/2018 00:09

I absolutely had to google who Liam and Noel were 😂. They apparently aren’t popular in the US. Everyone would say Noel as no-elle where I live. 😬

Sorry the joke was lost on you OP I resisted the temptation. I so nearly posted choose Noel and Wink but to be fair to you the brothers are almost, or even more famous for their acrimonious feuding than they are for their music and you wouldn't want to start off on that foot.

midsomermurderess · 31/01/2018 19:57

Connor, or Niall to keep an Irish feel going.
