Really stuck on a boy's name.

We've a long, difficult to spell Irish O' surname so really need quite a short easy to spell first name.

Just cannot think of anything!!

Anyone got any suggestions, my dd's name is Orla by the way, which is fab (we think) as short and we chose the easy spelling.

I am Irish and if I had a boy I was going to call him Séamus and Séimí (shaymee) for short. Just love that name but won't get to use it now!
