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

I am Irish, living in England and have a Shay (nn for Seamus). We chose it as it was a name that was common enough that he wouldn’t have to spell it every time. I loved names like Diarmuid but know that would be tricky in England.

He is 10 and is the only Shay in his school. Only 3 other Seamuses in our town (of about 15,000). So, manageable, but not too common.

would you think about Dermot? Easy for people in UK but good strong name.
