Help!
We are expecting our second child, Irish living in London. Our daughter has an Irish name and we are keen to give DS one too. But we can't find a single one we like or haven't had to rule out. I've googled and googled, need some serious inspiration!
Can't use the below for various reasons:
Sean
Oisin
Niall
Seamus
Conor
Liam
Ruairi
Fionn
Considering but not loving:
Tadhg
Conan

Ferdia or Cormac
Great names and would be relatively unproblematic spelling wise in the UK.

We’ve lived in the SE/London and I have no clue how to pronounce Taghd.I’m also a Hcp!
they’l learn phonetics at school, so it could do with sounding vaguely phonetically in the country you’re living in.
my niece is called Aoife and living and texting in Kuwait has actually just changed her name to Aefa.
