Help me narrow down my choices ...

[Helen8888]

Hi,
First baby due June. I’m Irish living in England with English DH. Would love to use an Irish name but we’re struggling to decide so there’s a mix of options.

Looking to narrow down our choices:

Boys:
Freddie
Evan
Flynn
Cillian
Rory
Tadhg
Ronan
Rowan
Lorcan
Nate (Nathaniel)

Girls:
Niamh
Orla
Maeve
Aoife
Florence
Ada

Surname is King x

Cillian and Maeve are my favourites.

Boys:
Freddie - please not another one. They are everywhere. I actually find Frederick very handsome but Freddie just sounds whiny to me

Evan - nice, though I prefer Euan

Flynn - lovely name

Cillian - not a fan

Rory - lovely but quite popular

Tadhg - not a fan

Ronan - I just think Keating. Rohan?

Rowan - I like

Lorcan - not a fan

Nate (Nathaniel) - I love Nathaniel

Girls:
Niamh - pretty
Orla - love it, though prefer Orlaith. Have you considered Oona?
Maeve - nice
Aoife - like it
Florence - love but very popular
Ada - not a fan

Freddie Hate it
Evan Nice
Flynn Very nice
Cillian Love it, especially with your surname
Rory Eh, so so
Tadhg Like it a lot but hard to pronounce for daily use
Ronan Love it
Rowan Like it
Lorcan Love it, needs to be used more
Nate (Nathaniel) Like it a lot

Girls:
Niamh Love it
Orla Never liked it
Maeve Love it
Aoife So-so
Florence Like it
Ada Too short with your short surname

Cillian King is a fabulous name. I’d go for that.

How are you pronouncing Cillian?

Cillian is a fab name. Orla is beautiful. All lovely names to be fair.

Thank you everyone I think we might have narrowed it down to Cillian or Rory for a boy and Orla or Maeve for a girl.

Boys:
Freddie - not my kind of name
Evan - not keen
Flynn - not keen
Cillian - not keen
Rory - love
Tadhg - like this :)
Ronan - dislike
Rowan - love
Lorcan - dislike
Nate (Nathaniel) - like

Girls:
Niamh - pretty
Orla - love
Maeve - not keen
Aoife - lovely
Florence - love
Ada - not keen

I've seen above you have narrowed down your list a bit but I just like name lists so still wanted to go through it 😝

Out of your narrowed down names I love Rory and Orla

I'd use Rory if i had a boy but my DH has an old friend called Rory so he thinks it would be weird as if we were naming him after him :(

Cillian and Orla for me.
