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!

Delicatessan - for a young man with delicate bone structure - and an almost unhealthy love of meringues.

Haha, thanks people I'm liking Marzipan and Delicatessen.

For those who asked why, we're not aiming to definitely choose a name in this way, it just occurred to me today that all the names we like have the same ending, and I wondered if there are similar ones to what we have considered.

I know Dillon is also a recognized spelling, just not so keen on it. It's not a serious contender anyhow because DP's cat was called Dillon, and... well, just a bit too weird to name your child after a cat

Iwan, Ieuan, Morgan.

We nearly named our DS after a (dead)tortoise, so naming after a cat would seem fair enough....

just thought of another Conan, i really liked this name, but dp said no cos a film? conan the barbarian? or something i have never seen it, but it put dp off the name.

GrinningGorilla · 27/06/2008 22:35

Conan the Barbarian, film with Arnold Swarzeneger in it enjoyable film, good name I reckon.

4madboys · 27/06/2008 22:37

yes thats the one, but dp said no because of the film i think its a lovely name, a bit unusual but not too different
