cant think of unique irish boys name. suggestions please.

[breaghsmum]

ds1 is called Bréagh, (pronounced bray)
we have a girls name already but cant think of a boys name that will compliment our son's. we want an irish name as our son's is irish and we dont want a name that someone we know has. any suggestions would be lovely.

Seamus? I like it. I met a woman with a Seamus the other day. He's four.

conor means king of ulster! didn't know that.

Rory is nice too.

i like rory. although have cousin called ruaidhrí pronounced rory so not sure about that.

Ciaran with a northern accent isn't good! I knew an American called Carrick after Carrickfergus...

Ruarai?
Pronounced "Rooree", rather than normal old Rory.

Cúan -pronounce Coo-awn.

Setanta. Great Irish legend, (and sports channel)

(DD2 who should be in bed is singing the National Anthem and Ireland's Call)

enda

Love Enda

Cúchullain
Cet

I always wished I had the balls to call DS Setanta...I think its fab!

What about Daithi? Irish for David? By the way MNers, how did ya all get the fadas?

Ctrl + Alt gives you the fadas

Setanta is cool. Or Finbarr! Donal? I can never remember how to do fada, it is control alt something I think.

Erin.
Tis a boy's name too.

Fiachra?

Thanks! Áéíoú!! It doesn't work on my 'o' though.

Sorry...just showing off. I've always liked Tomás as well.

What about seoras? Gaelic rather than irish but as you're in ni the Scottish connection is strong (I am too btw although not from here)

Uisneagh has always been a bit of a fav of mine.

Caoilte? Faolain?

Has anybody said Saoirse ?

I love the name Cúan (coo-an)
and also Lúan

Aefondkiss, Cúchullain is a dog! Cullain's dog.

So how about Cullen?

I knew a Lorcan at college. He was a bit of a weirdy beardy!!

Be Gob, I knew a weirdy beardy Lorcan at college too! fadó fadó.

I like Setanta. Has a lot of history to it.

Uisce - meaning water, pronounced "Is-kaa"
Tiné or Aidan meaning fire, "tin-ne" or "Ay-dan"
Liath meaning rock. "lee - ath"
Tuabh meaning earth. "too-av"

Fionn? Pronounced Fin as in Fin McCool (sp?).

Like Lorcan. I know one who is very nice and not at all a beardy weirdy.

Daithi after daithi o'shea, sexy smug git that he is.

Setanta is so cool! do it, do it! Amanda Brunker did. Mind you, she had the nerve to publish her sexual fantasies and call it a novel, so lack of nerve not an issue there!!

Lorcan is probably the most practical of the suggestions, especially if he's mixing with people who haven't read the stories of fin mcCool. (sorry for spelling).

Kerry, what about......... Castle!? After CastleGregory ;-)

I'm laughing at Carrick after CarrickFergus, because what made them overlook Fergus! I love the name Fergus.

Or Fergal. less so, though. Prefer Fergus.

Breagh's Mum, are you writing all of these down.?
