Dominic Rhys is my favourite. One of the things I like about the name Dominic is that it can be shortened.

Petalflowers · 06/05/2019 11:42

Not sure how to pronounce Eoin.

Not keen on Seamus. Like the other names.

FannyFeatures · 06/05/2019 11:42

I like:
Niall Connor
Eoin Jack
Callum Rhys
Dominic Eoin

Not a fan of Eric, Seamus or Jamie.

FannyFeatures · 06/05/2019 11:43

@Petalflowers it's an Irish spelling of Owen.

AdaColeman · 06/05/2019 11:50

Dominic and Eric are my favourites.

I wouldn't use Jack as it has been hugely popular for some years.

Jamie Callum and Rhys are my least favourite.

Bunnybigears · 06/05/2019 11:51

Niall Connor - both naughty boy names
Eric Seamus - dislike Eric, Seamus is ok
Eoin Jack - Eoin is OK, Jack is very popular
Dominic Rhys - Dislike Dominic, I love Rhys
Jamie - ok
Callum - naughty boy name.

So out of your list I would have Rhys Jamie.

FannyFeatures · 06/05/2019 12:56

What's a "naughty boy name"? 😕

Shadow1234 · 06/05/2019 13:59

I would change them round and have Rhys Dominic

Icklepup · 06/05/2019 14:12

I like Dominic Rhys

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 06/05/2019 20:31

Two Dominic’s I know were shortened to Dom, then condom. Just be aware kids can be horrible.

PlatypusLeague · 06/05/2019 20:33

Eric Seamus is great, a lovely combination. Niall Dominic is also really nice.

Mintypea5 · 06/05/2019 20:36

Love Eion! There an actor called Eoin Bailey and I've always though it was a lovely sounding name

Sophronia · 06/05/2019 21:00

Seamus Dominic would be great.

Lacypants · 06/05/2019 21:02

I vote Dominic Eoin, but my son is Dominic Owen so I'm biased

Thanks for your replies. Dominic looks to be the favourite so far.
Snowyalps best steer clear of Connor Dominic then that definitely would be Con Dom Grin

Eric Seamus. Dd was going to be an Eric

starkid · 08/05/2019 16:40

I like Dominic Rhys :)

MikeUniformMike · 08/05/2019 20:32

Are you Irish?
Niall Connor - Nice but Connor was very popular in the UK about 20 years ago
Eric Seamus - I like it
Eoin Jack - If you're not in Ireland you might find Owen easier
Dominic Rhys - no
Jamie - yes
Callum - no

DramaAlpaca · 08/05/2019 21:54

Not Eoin Jack - Eoin is an Irish version of John & Jack is a diminutive of John so that doesn't work.

I like Dominic Rhys, and I like Niall & Callum too.

The ignorant 'naughty boy name' comments are best ignored.

DieselSucker · 10/05/2019 00:52

Niall Connor
Eric Connor sounds good too

Chocmallows · 10/05/2019 00:53

Dominic Jack

lovemeorleaveme · 10/05/2019 09:42

Def no to Callum. Eric is nice

FishCanFly · 10/05/2019 14:17

I only like Connor or Callum

Good point re Eoin Jack never realised that even though part of the reason I love Eoin is because John is my amazing dad's name.
