Help with baby boy names please

[Sootyandsweepp]

I need help from the mumsnet network and naming experts with baby boy names. They are so hard!! I’ve scrolled through 1000’s of them aimlessly and can’t decide on one.
Our surname is Pang. We like names like Zachary and Lucas but not 100%.
I like classic, traditional names which sound cool and not too cute. They can be shortened too, as need to go with our one syllable surname. I have Irish heritage and would love to give a nod to the Celtic culture, although hubby hasn’t been sold on Irish names so far. Any suggestions please.

Traditional names that I like and I think are cool are:
Jude
Rex
Seth
Edward (so many good shortening options)
William
Oliver
Samuel

Zachary is great
Also like
Daniel
Nathan
Sebastian
William
Thomas (Tom)

Tbh most names, long or short, go with Pang unless they start with a P

Zachary and Lucas are both nice (Zachary is one of my personal favourites)

Leo Pang has a nice ring to it.

Nico

Ed Pang isn't great. (Head Bang)
If you use a name that can be shortened, try the abbreviated name with the surname.
Zac Pang, Sam Pang, Tim Pang, Nate/Nat Pang, Kit Pang etc

I'd avoid Peter . Patrick doesn't really go either. Tadhg is lovely but ...

Owen/Eoin
Oscar
Hugo
David

for celtic names I like tadhg, Torin, orrin, Oisin, Ivo, Lochlan, Finn, Flynn, Quinn, Caolan, Rowan, Dylan.

They are all quite classic, but not overused. I think they all go with Pang.

Zachary Pang is nice.
I don’t like the name Lucas.

I was going to suggest Rory and can see others have too! Great name and works well with your surname - I think two single-syllable names can sound a bit harsh.

Hugo Pang is too close to 'you go bang', so I retract that suggestion.

needs a longer first name for avoid sounding sing song-y

Benjamin Pang
Johnathan Pang
Timothy Pang
Abraham Pang
ChristopherPang

Brendan
Dylan
Rory
Ciaran
Four Celtic names that are not prone to being shortened.

I agree that with a one syllable surname, a one syllable name, or NN, would sound too abrupt.

Alexander is nice, Alex sounds ok too.

Elias, Mateo (but might get Mat), Elijah, Anthony.Maxton, Mannix, (though might get shortened).

Joseph
Vincent
Douglas
Stephen
Avery
Lincoln
Leighton
Louis
Nicholas
Quentin
Xander
Jeremy
Caleb
Jordan
Lyle
Kyle
Warwick

William is very classic and traditional (and since it’s very timeless, seems reasonably cool). Liam is trendier/more modern and gives a nod to your Irish heritage - so William Pang, known as Liam Pang. All sorted! 😁

While I like Zachary Pang, realistically it’ll likely get shortened to Zack and I can’t decide if that sounds cool or a bit harsh 🤔, same with Lucas and the shortening Luke. Pang perhaps seems to work better with 2/3 syllable first names and diminutives.

James

Joseph?

I like classic, traditional names which sound cool and not too cute.

How about these:

Caspar
Quentin

I personally don't like the sound of Zach Pang

Edward Pang

All sound manly with Pang.
