Brother name for Shay
Meadow521 · 16/03/2023 21:11
Hi would love some ideas on boy names for a brother for our son Shay - we live in Ireland & would like another short, strong sounding name (preferably one syllable) but that isn’t too unusual Irish spelling as have family in UK. Have quite liked Rob, Jack, Dean, Ciar, Guy, Joe but nothing has stood out yet. Any thoughts much appreciated 🙂

Love Shay!
Like Ciar (but would spell Keir), Joel & Liam.
Kian
Ciaran
Connor

I know a Jax. I think that's in a similar vein to Shay

Thanks so so much for all the suggestions like Joel but it’s my DH cousin’s name do you think that’s an issue?
love Dara & Cathal too just was trying to choose one less Irish this time.
lovely to hear some like the name Shay too 🙂

I like Noel with Shay too.
Also Rory and Tadhg.
Oscar is Irish without being obvious.

Love love love Shay, it’s actually quite old school in the coolest possible way. Love Dara with it, another brilliant name.
