Brother for Oisín..

[Fleur06]

Hi there!
Looking for opinions on a boys name we already have an Oisín. Shortlist is as follows:

Fionn
Oscar
Taghg

We are Irish, living in Ireland would like to keep to an Irish name I think as DH and I both have Irish names so think it might be nice to keep that trend in our family?

We both really love Oscar, I know for many it doesn't appear to be an Irish name (but does have a great Irish history and meaning behind it).. but I do love the other two names too so we are finding it hard to narrow it down further!

With regards to popularity that really doesn't bother me too much, however Oscar would be the least popular of these three in Ireland.

Any opinions on the above? Thankfully we just have one girls name we both love so that side is sorted but struggling for a boy!

Thanks

I've just read that Tadhg (or Tadg) was the grandfather of Fionn MacCumhaill making him Oisin's grandfather, so that's another tick in its favour.

All lovely names.

I do like Oscar, but it's pronounced a bit differenly in irish, more like Uskar, which I prefer to the more widely used pronunciation. I considered it for DS, but didn't use it because I felt getting the pronunciation I preferred could be a losing battle

Tadhg and Fionn are also lovely, although I'd probably go with Tadhg personally as Fionn and Oisín are so well known (in Ireland) as father and son...Oisín and Oscar less so, probably?

Love Oscar and think it goes best with Oisin. Also love Odhrán.

I really like Tadgh. I think, because it's not possible to guess the pronunciation as an English speaker, it runs less risk of being mispronounced because people are likely to look it up (that's what I did when I met one a few years ago). I like the other names too but Tadgh would be my favourite.

it's Tadhg not Tadgh
