What's Orla's brother called?

Currently 13 weeks pregnant with our second baby and I'm fairly convinced it's a boy . . . I know, I know, it's 50-50, but I'm still thinking ahead and panicking slightly as I don't love any of the boys names we've thought of so far!

What are your suggestions for a boys name that works well with sibling name 'Orla', doesn't have too many 'n'a as it won't work with my surname, and an Irish or Welsh name would be a bonus due to family roots?

I quite like:

Tadhg (pronounced Tai-ig)
Keir
Cory
Rory
Toby

Would love your ideas and opinions, thank you!

I like Rory and Keir. What about Patrick?

MyrtleSmurf · 15/08/2023 19:44

I immediately thought Finbar for some reason, Fin for short. I also love Tadhg though, and Ruaridh. LOVE Irish boys names.

Shinytaps · 15/08/2023 20:08

I think James. Just jumped into my head - no idea why!

StephanieSuperpowers · 15/08/2023 20:13
