Sibling for Oran

[Sherriyousmelldifferent]

Just found out I’m pregnant with dc2 - please help me with names!

I think you need to give us more to go on. I've never heard of Oran. Is that a boy's name? Is it Irish? Do you want something similar?

I would not advise Gina.

Is Oran an alternative spelling to the Irish ‘Odhran’? If so, are you looking for Irish names do you think?

Girls:
Caiomhe- Irish, or Keeva/Keva-English
Aoife-quite popular now
Saoirse-Irish, Sersha/Sershae- English

Boys:
Rohan
Finbar-means White Flamed, similar to Oran
Aodhan-Irish, Aidan-Englush

Yes it’s a boys name, Irish, there’s a few where I am in Scotland. Dc 2 name doesn’t necessarily have to be Irish/Celtic too. Just have no idea what it goes with!

PS. I LOVE the name Oran! 😊

Sessy- Rohan is nice, is that pronounced ro-han or ro-wan? Rowan I worry is too similar, basically the same name but sounds in a different order! Love rowan for a girl but can’t have it for this reason!

OP, I would pronounce Rohan like Roan...but I see how it’s a bit close to Oran. I’ll think of an alternative!! 😂

What about Riordan for a boy? Pronounced rear-dan.

It’s a bit surnamey for England, although we do seem to have picked up that trend from the US now...and it probably originated from the Irish in any case!

Or Ruahri- Rory?

Please don't give him an Irish surname as a name. Might as well call him Murphy .
I quite like Luke with Oran.

For girls:
Síle or Sheila or Shelagh. (I really like this name and think it's due a comeback)
Sula came up on another thread. (Hebridean island)

Riordan is NOT an Irish surname. It’s a name in its own right. It just happens to sound like a surname

@Sessy19 it absolutely is an Irish surname. I'm Irish, I've met plenty people with that surname.
Type in 'Riordan' to Google and have a wee look if you don't believe me. All your results with be people with that surname.

Sessy Riordan most certainly is an Irish surname. And if you are going to suggest Irish names to the OP, please spell them correctly - it's Caoimhe & Ruairi.

SOme lovely suggestions, thank you! Ruahri is a great one, and I like sula too!

Names don’t necessarily need to be Irish (though I tend to love most Irish boys names I hear). We have a VERY Irish surname but I’m not Irish so don’t want it to see like too much of a ‘theme’ if that makes sense.
