Think we've finally settled for a name

[fr4zzledmum]

So I'm 33 weeks with our second, a boy. We have a DD who's name is [Welsh] [Irish] [Irish surname], so we wanted a similar set of names for DS.

For context, we live in Wales (DH is Welsh, I'm English).

How does Osian Finan [Irish surname] sound?

beautiful

I quite like the name Finan. I don't like the name Osian so much, but it's very unusual. If you like it, go for it.

Love it!

It's a very common name here in Wales.

Pronounced Osh-an.

Well, if you like it - go for it!

Am I correct in thinking its pronounced O-sheen? It's a lovely name :)

As someone who had a Welsh and an Irish parent it sounds good to me.

No, you're thinking of Oisin

I have an Ossian! Not exactly the same but....

Be prepared for no one to be able to pronounce it.

I still love the name but DS spends his life correcting people. More than once. Especially any GP or dentist.

Love it!

If it's very common then people will know how to pronounce it.

I love Osian! It does sound quite similar to the middle name (same ending sounds) Not sure if this would bother you or not...

Oh no you've planted a seed 😂😂

That's the Irish pronunciation of Osín :) The Welsh is Osh-an.

I've never heard it before so I thought it was Oss- ee- an.
It's nicer if it sounds like Ocean.

Beautiful names. Congratulations!

I love Osian - great name! Osian Finan is lovely :)

Osian is very popular in Wales. It's the Welsh equivalent of Oisín.
As other have said, Osian is OSH-ann.
@KatyaKabanova , it doesn't sound like Ocean

Lovely name.

Right, Kirsten, I'm just going on how people have broken it down phonetically for me.

I know someone with an Osian - always thought it's a beautiful name

I'd prefer fintan as middle name as it seems to flow better

How is Ossian pronounced @StumpedForIdeas?

I love Finan-think that was one of the characters in The Last Kingdom!

It was!
