Choosing from our final 4

[JaJaDonkey]

In case it's relevant to these names- have close Irish and Welsh heritage, but live in England. We have no French heritage but some close family connections to France.

Would really appreciate any thoughts on these. We love them all for different reasons. Brutal honesty welcome. Help and thank you!

1. Etienne
2. Lorcan
3. Emrys
4. Quentin

I like Etienne but the others are horrible.

Emrys, love it
I think the pronunciation is better known than other similar uncommon names because of Merlin

Etienne - from experience (I knew one) I can tell you that non-French-speaking people will always assume that this is feminine. Also in a non-French accent it sounds quite bad, sorry!

Lorcan - this isn't bad but I don't find the Lorc-sound attractive.

Emrys - I know that this is masculine but I could see many people assuming this was a girls name (unless you live in Wales). It looks like Emily meets Carys.

Quentin - this is cool and what I would go with.

I only like Emrys from your list.

They're all great names but I'd choose Quentin. Q is a cool initial.

Quentin makes me think of the Famous Five and whilst he had a brilliant mind,he was forgetful and prone to flying into terrible tempers...

I like Lorcan the best out of the options.

I think most kids today will more likely know illustrator Quentin Blake (or Tarantino) than an Uncle in Famous Five.

I also like Lorcan.

Love the name Etienne but I think of a beautiful girls name sorry

Emrys (Em Ris) is a good welsh name.
Lorcan needs to be said in a lovely Irish accent
Quentin - under used but Im not sure if its pretentious sounding like Tarquin

Welsh names is you need inspiration

Gwyn (gwin)
Rhys (rees)
Glyn
Dylan
Griff
Llew (cant explain how to do the ll sound ) chl ew (is my best way to explain)
