Boys name shortlist

[WillowSky]

Hi all,

We have our shortlist of boys names and was wondering if I can ask for some opinions on fave.

We have:
Lorcan
Lochlann
Cillian
Firth

Thanks so much in advance.

Lochlann is the only one I'd personally consider.
I'd probably spell it with one n.

Where are you based? I'm guessing you're a fan of water!
None of them are my taste but I like Lochlann the best (although is it not Lochlan?). I prefer Lachlan to Lochlann. Cillian will bring up pronunciation issues.
Firth is just a bit strange for me to use as a name.

My favourite is Lorcan.

Love your names. We have a Lachlan (I prefer the Irish spelling though).

Civilian is on the list if we have another boy.

I also love Finnian & Cormac.

I know a Cillian who's not had any pronunciation problems. Kill ee an.

I like Cillian from your list, lovely name. I don’t think you’ll have too much pronunciation issues even in the UK. I think it’s becoming much more well known now thanks to Cillian Murphy. Maybe Fintan or Conall for other suggestions?

I am northern Irish 👍 lochlann is the Irish spelling. I believe it is pronounced lough/luck-lann versus lack-lan for lachlan.

I worry slightly for cillian pronunciation issues as well if encountered outside of Ireland..also it rhymes with Lillian so I wonder if a little feminine.

I also like finnian (but have a good friend who has a son called this) and cormac. I also like Conri (means wolf King ❤️). I find name decisions incredibly tough. Wish they would come with a birth cert like cabbage patch dolls 🤣

Cillian

ah ok, i was definitely getting celtic vibes from your list! Isn't it Lochlann as it lock?
Cormac and Conri are good!

Cillian, by a mile. I live in England and know one - no pronunciation issues.

I really like Cormac!

I’m a teacher and know a really lovely Lochlann so that sways me towards it ☺️ Cillian is nice too

I know a Lockie and he’s a feral nightmare. Cillian is a cool name.

I like them all, but think Lochlann is my favourite.

Lorcan is lovely.

I love Lochlann, Lorcan, Cillian and Cormac OP.
You may have pronunciation issues with Lochlann as many people are more used to Lachlan (I much prefer Lochlann though). As you've mentioned it, I think the r in Lorcan and Cormac could cause them to be mispronounced in many parts of the UK (as the r's won't be pronounced), but you're fine in Northern Ireland. Lovely names.

Lorcan

Lorcan.

I love Lorcan! I only know one, about 8 yrs old. It's a great name.

Lorcan is great
I like Lochlan but will get mistaken for Lachlan all the flipping time
Cillian will get pronounced wrong in the UK
Firth is bad-weird
If you like water-y themed names then Fenn??
