Oisin??? (already have a Shannon)

[BarbieLovesKen]

Hi all,

Looking for more lovely, honest opinions if you would please.

I found out yesterday that I am having a lovely little boy!!.

We have one dd, whos name is Shannon - I posted before about names that would "match" - I did want either Jack or Matthew for a boy (and Kate for a girl) but definately went off the idea of Jack when realised exactly how popular it has become and not so sure about Matthew anymore.

Am now thinking Oisin. Cant do fada on this keyboard!!. But was thinking it would match Shannon stylistically - i.e. keeping an Irishy theme.

What do you think?? I have a million girls names that I adore but finding the boys ones quite difficult.

Thanks - had forgotten about those immediately as had discounted them - mixed reception to Miah - DH is Jeremiah, but never gets called that, so I love Miah - on the off chance we ever end up in cork and someone might think our girl is a boy, DH is discounting it though!

Oh well, back to the drawing board...good luck with Oisin!

Naoise I like though....hmm - whats he etiquette on stealing names.........

steal away!! I know, I love it but DH says NO WAY!!

Absolutely love this name. If DD had been a boy we would have called her Oisin (I'm London-Irish).

Naoise is deffo a boy's name, btw!

Naoise definitely a boy's name - he's the lover in the myth Deirdre of the Sorrows

I love Oisín! I was near the top of my list by did NOT match the surname in a MAJOR way. Sigh...

dont like it sorry

Oisin and Shannon do NOT sound like brother and sister to me!!!

You need to go with something which is Irish as seen through the eyes of an American.

Aidan (this is Irish, v.pop in USA)
Logan
Ryan

PS, FIachra is unusual. Reminds me of the Irish for teeth though. Fiacla. Too similar!!
