Scottish/Irish/surname baby name

Me and my husband cannot agree on names. He is very keen to have a Scottish name if it's a boy, but would also settle for Irish (we are both).

I've also narrowed down that he likes surnames as first names too (things like Jaxson). These don't have to be celtic.

Names we've considered and like but have discounted - mainly due to other family members using first:
Charlie
Brodie
Cameron
Arran
Harris

Can anyone help me find a name we both love?

Malachy with a y rather than i, it autocorrected me.

How about Ethan?
Good appeal across celtic nations, nice meaning and difficult to shorten.
