Just wondering what the general consensus here is for the name Sean? Our surname is very very similar to Keegan so we need something that doesn't have too many 'e's or 'n's otherwise it sounds really silly.

Dh likes Liam but I don't think it sounds right against the surname and I lurve Daniel but DH doesn't.

We're not going for trendy or made up names either so if you have any traditional suggestions for our boy, we would be really grateful!

Sean is ok.

Sean is lovely, also similar are Shane and Oisin, if you like Irishy ones.

I like Cian but if it's too eee-y and nnn-y you could have Cuan, traditional Irish.

John?
James? (my favourite boy's name and one I recommend without hesitation on every possible occasion)

I like Sean. Or if you want traditional, why not use the English version - John? My ds's best friend is called John and it's really nice and easy.

dont like Sean. Sorry! but i am very very trad. - i have an Edward and a George

Patrick?

Sean is v v trad!

what about Oran(sp?) I think that's also a traditional Irish boy's name?

Yes Sean is very traditional Irish!

Sean sounds fine to me. But I luuuurve Fergus/Feargus.

With a fada on the a.

Sean was v popular when I was little (70s) - there were lots of them in my school. But it's quite a nice name really - don't see why it shouldn't come back into fashion.

Or Seamus (James) - Shay-muss

I have a Sean and a Daniel, you have good taste!

If we're talking Irish names, is it time Michael came back? I think it's lovely!

Are you wanting Irish names, or just traditional names?

Not really bothered about the Irish thing in particular, it was just a name I suggested because it went quite well with the surname and doesn't seem to be too popular around here. I also like James, but we have too many family members with the same name.

Finding boys names much harder to think about than girls. It was easier first time round!

Thanks for the opinions so far!
