Short Irish Boys names - suggestions?

[Chiliprepper]

Daydreaming about boys names - Irish but living in Scotland with the possibility of moving back in a few years. Have a Conall already

Like but don’t love:
Dara
Aodh
Eoin/Eoghan
Brian (wouldn’t use it outside of Ireland I don’t think)
Shay

Does anyone have any suggestions we could add to the list? Preferably short names I think

Fionn

Sean
Rory
Ruadhan (Rowan)
Thagdh (means Tim)
Odhran (Ogie for short)
Eamon

Óran, Cathal/Cal, Fergus, Iarla, Naoise, Diarmuid, Art, Tadhg, Dara, Oisín, Cillian, Lorcan, Donncha, Aidan, Cian, Seán?

I know a little Ruadh. Also Rian, Cian, Cuan, Art.

Not short but I adore Donnchadh.

Cian
Liam
Seán

I love Conall.
Love Aodh, but might be a bit tricky as it sounds like an initial (so do Kay and Jay, but Aodh isn't as well known and less obvious how to pronounce),

Garvan
Conor
Cillian
Ruairi
Tadhg

Thanks!

I like Fionn but know lots of fionn/Finn/Finley’s which puts me off a bit.

Like Tadgh too but wonder if the sound is too close Taig if we moved back - is that an issue anyone has come across?

Eamon has the ‘sound’ I like but don’t live the name of that makes any sense…!

Sean, Oran, Diarmuid going on the list I think

Also Liam! Great! Know a few my age in scotland but none at all in Ireland, like it a lot

Not too short but Naoise, Lorcan, and Cormac are favourites of mine.

Ultan

Re Oran - I know a couple of Scottish ones and they pronounce it like the beginning of “orange” with a short o, whereas I much prefer Odhran with the o to sound like door, bore, core etc (not a linguist so don’t know how to describe properly!).

I wouldn't go with Aodh, Tadgh, Ruadh or other names which aren't pronounced as written - he will spend his life correcting people if he doesn't live in Ireland.

I'd go with Sean or Darren for shorter names, go well with Conall

What do people think of Shay? Would you automatically think short for Seamus? DH thinks that would be the assumption in the UK anyway

Cian

Shay is lovely, I have a neighbor called Shay and he is a lovely lad so I’m biased.

Chavvy is not a word I care for, but for want of a better one I’d say Shay sounds a bit chavvy.

Art is a great name.

Liam is lovely. Cian is a bit harder. Shay is often used as a girls name.
rory or rian?

Oisin
Finn
Senan
Aodh
Cillian
Faolan
Fintan
Lorcan

Colm

One to add to the above lists: Iarla

I love Shay, OP. One of the loveliest boys I’ve ever met is called Shay. His brother is Beau. I definitely wouldn’t assume Shay is short for Seamus.

Niall

I love Tadgh, my favourite Irish boys name. Eoin might work for you too. The Conall I know has a brother called Fintan.
