Irish or Scottish Boy Names

[AnonymousArmadillo]

We found out yesterday that DC3 is a boy! 🥰🥰 We have two DDs and knew what their names were straight away.

DH’s family are Irish and my dad’s family are Scottish so a name with either of those heritages would be lovely. I’m not too fussed for matching names but DDs are Kara and Aoife so don’t want a name that seems bizarre next to those. We have a two-syllable Irish surname starting with a hard C sound.

Names I like:
Rory
Theodore
Cameron - not sure on the CC initials
Luca
Quinn

DH likes:
Theodore
Darragh - I worry this sounds too similar to Kara
Harrison - really not keen on this

We both like Theodore but I know it’s incredibly popular at the moment. Also just not sure it ‘fits’ with our DDs’ names.

What other names might I like?

My friend has a son named Corrin which I like.

Harris
Innes
Blair

I have 4 boys and all named here !

I think Oisín is a beautiful name but maybe not outside of Ireland . Fionn/ Finn ‘travels’ well .

I’ve added Cian and Archie to my list.

Some other great names on here that we unfortunately can’t use because we have close family/friends with those names.

Ciaran/Ciar
Logan
Innes
Hugh
Atholl
Ramsay
Murdo
Fergus

I'd say Cian has Jayden/Kayden vibes here in Scotland anyway.

Cormac was on my list.
Liam
Harris
Lewis
munro
Corran (although I know one girl and several boys with the name)
fletcher
Archie is v popular here now (north west highlands)
logan (although I know more dogs then children with the name!)
scott

congratulations!

Hamish , Douglas, Fintan

My grandson is called Shay.

That’s ok. We don’t live in Scotland so unlikely to be an issue.

Michael.... Fits in just about everywhere. You could convert it to The Irish/Gaelic spelling if you wanted to

It really doesn't down south.

This is a family name for my DH but I’m really not keen. It’s handed down via the eldest son’s and DH isn’t the eldest son so I have dodged that bullet.

It really doesn't down south.

I have a Lewis. Our other choice was Fraser

Lorcán or Caolán

Angus
Munro
Callum
Struan

Callan
Lachlan
Lochlan
Brodie
Harris
Roddy
Ivan
Angus
Archie

Scottish names:

Murdo
Mungo
Hamish
Callum
Rory
Charlie
Lachlan
Archie
Duncan
Jamie
Angus
Ross
Blair
Logan
Fraser
Hector

Tavish
Fingal
Ainsley
Ranald
Forbes
