What are your favourites, please? Would like something slightly unusual (not ‘yoonique’, just not super common). No fadas or anglicisations (nothing with a K, for example).

Please let me know some that you like.

I've got a Torin! Love it. We wanted an Irish name as he's half Irish. Some Irish people say it isn't a real irish name, but others say it's a rare one. It's clearly not common in Ireland but most people assume it's Irish and the others I've met usually have Irish or Scottish heritage. Both our other DC have obviously Irish names. I love it though, no regrets, it gets loads of compliments.

It’s a lovely name, but it’s certainly not Irish. The one I knew years ago was Scandinavian, though not sure which country.
