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.

My suggestion is not a list of names but a potential way to help you make the decision once you have a shortlist as such. Works well over some nice snacks or a cheese board!

DH and I both wrote all the names we individually liked (we actually tried to do one for every letter of the alphabet but whatever works!) on bits of scrap paper. Then took one name from his pile, one from mine and put them next to eachother to compare. Chose a fave from the two to go into a winners pile, the losing name gets discarded. Repeat with the next two until you've gone through all of them. Then take the winners pile and again pull out two names at a time to compare. But this time it's winner stays on. One name gets discarded and the winner stays on the table to go up against the next one pulled from the pile.

This is how we got DS's first/middle name combo as two names came out together and it worked well so went with it.
