We are having a boy and so far quite like Rowan and Dylan (though DH thinks he likes it spelt Dillon) but I'm a bit stuck beyond them. Has anyone got suggestions for boys names that end in "an"? I don't know how to go about searching for names in this way
Thanks!

Ciaran/Kieran

I have one but I'm not telling - it's getting too popular for my liking.
BTW Dillon is an acceptable alternative spelling to Dylan.

Dillon is Irish for Trust and is a recognised spelling

Dylan means from the sea

what about

Roman or Ronan?
Roan

JentlyDoesIt · 27/06/2008 19:30
