DH and I have the following list on the go for our first baby - mostly shortish vowel heavy names. Just looking for some more suggestions in the same vein really, not incredibly common (not sure about Leo and a few others for this reason), that will work with a surname beginning with P?

(I know I've left off the fadas on the Irish names, can't work out how to add them on phone but they will be there in the correct place!)

Elijah
Noah
Oisin
Dara
Leo
Ruari
Luke
Cillian
Luan
Rowan
Elliott
Sebastian
Jesse
Oscar
Lucan
Jude
Toby
Oran
Robin
Louis

Osian is OSH-an (Osh rhymes with Cosh, an rhymes with can). Very popular in wales.
Most Welsh names don't work outside Wales. Dons tin hat.
Some like Owen and Gareth are OK as they are quite mainstream.

Go for Irish then, Connor, Ciaran, Aidan or Aodhan, Caolan, Cormac, Eamon, Eoghan or Eoin, Finn, Fintan, Finn, Iarla, Ronan, Tiarnan or Tiernan, Darragh... Love all these and considered most for my dc if a boy!

I liked vowelly names for a boy too--what we didn't use but spent time on the shortlist:

Osmo
Sacha (technically a shortening of Alexander, but who's counting?)
Arlo
Stellan (not super-vowelly but soft)
Elias

Iolo (sort of I-olo / yolo). Probably a lifetime of explanations though Grin

Iolo isn'y I-olo or Yolo. It is pronounced like Yollo but with both o's having the same sound, like the o in off.
