new updated list what’s your favourite?

Ronan and Ruairi

Aidan, Ronan and Callan are my favourites, I also like Ruairi a lot but would find the spelling a pain!

I love Rauiri and would've considered it if mine was a boy!

Ronan

Aidan is my favourite. Ruairi is nice as well but he may have to spell it out for a lot of people.

Is Ronan to similar to “Roman” which is very popular atm, only thing putting me off slightly

Thanks everyone

Ruairi

by a country mile!!!

Ruairi, than Aidan, both lovely

Darragh and Ruairi are fab imo.

is there suppose to be fadas on Ruairi?

Yes, fada on the last letter. All the names are nice but:

Ronan - Roman and Rowan are popular, also Reuben, Rory etc
Aidan - Jayden, Brayden popular
Aodhán - pronunciation and spelling may vary
Callan - OK, might get Calan, Callum or Callahan
Darragh - OK, might get Darren
Ruairi - It will be misspelt on almost a daily basis
Caolán - likely to be misspelt and mispronounced

My favourite is Callan.

Ronan is my favourite!

Top 3 atm would be Callan, Aidan & Ruairí
really like Ronan just many Romans around recently

Caolan

Aidan if you want to be classic/traditional (in N.Ireland or Ireland).

Callan if you want him to stand out a bit more.

Usually I would always choose the classic as it’s likely to be more timeless- but Cal is just such a cool diminutive that it sways me! Reminds me of James Dean in East of Eden.

Less keen on your other picks - and I understand wanting to use the Gaelic, but if the anglicised versions are as widely used where you are then I’d pick them just for ease if he travels when older (if the Gaelic are more common, then stick with them).

Roman and Darragh

I love Aidan and Darragh!! The Ruairi / Rory confusion that I see regularly turns me off using them. I prefer Caolan to Caolán. Good name choices though OP, they are all fab!

Please can I ask how you pronounce Aodhán and Caolán? They look beautiful written down but I know that I would never guess correctly.

I have a friend with a Darragh which is lovely.

Aid-awn

Kee-lawn

@Radiolala Aodhán- is supposed to be ay-awn however any I know do pronounce the d so it’s “ay-dawn” same as Aidan is said
again with caolán any I know it’s pronounced “ke-lawn”

Ruairi and Darragh are my favourites.

All lovely.
Callan is my fav though.

They all sound fine. Some look a little hard to pronounce for those not familiar with those names.

In the replies, @Babyboyno2 , both Ronan and Ruairi have been misspelt.
Ronan is a million times nicer than Roman.
(I don't see the appeal of Roman at all)
