Would love some opinions on the following two names.
For context, I'm Irish living in England with my English husband.

Oran (pronounced Oar-an)
Rory

I prefer Rory but I quite like Odran. Put the D in it so it's less like Onan though.

Oran - it s a city to me. Had never heard of the name. Sounds nice though.

Like Rory best though

Rory definitely

Rory

Oran said with an English accent is perilously close to Oral.

Odhran is a beautiful Irish name, my colleague is often asked to repeat his name. Yes Ruairi is nice is pronounced ru-ar_iee differently to Rory.

Niall?

Most of lads in work, call Odhran "Orange" we're all Irish so not a pronunciation issue, more used in endearment.
I love Oìsin or Fionn. I wanted to call my DS Fionn initially.

That might be a factor to consider if there's a chance the baby will have red hair.

I almost named one of my DDs Clementine. She dodged a massive bullet.
