Yes although they won't be born until November.

I know a chunk of these but was lacking inspiration so I thought I would ask others what they like.

Just checking in case it was for a character in a historical novel or something.
What sort of names do you like?

Why would you want to give your baby a name you don’t even know how to pronounce?

So far people have mentioned my name, my sisters name and my current child's first and middle names. So this is pretty on point.

My favourite at the moment is Elowen for a girl but I can't decide which Irish name would go with it and my husband isn't keen. Boys names I am much more unsure. Maybe Kytto? Or Taran? I love Cillian but is it too popular? What connotations does that one carry now?

I'm Cornish and my husband is Irish so we agreed ages back that we would use both traditional names for our children.

Because it honours my husband's heritage and I am willing to learn.

He has a different culture to me and speaks a different language. One that I try to learn, admittedly slowly. That is part of my children though and they will grow up learning.

I Like Conall as an Irish boy’s name.

Cornish- love Jago and Elowen

Irish names, most people will be fine with pronouncing Niamh and Sean/Seamus etc.

Cornish names: Tamsin, Petroc

I think if you don't know how to pronounce a name it's not a good idea to use it. I know you can learn to pronounce it, but why would you?

I see your husband is Irish and you are Cornish. Why not let him suggest Irish names and you suggest Cornish ones?

Do you mean he speaks Irish?
