Just read a similar post about Welsh names. We are totally stumped for a middle name for our next baby - our first son is Thomas Michael, and the first name we have decided on for our second son will be Jack, our surname is Oakley so we ned to find something that suits the first name and surname!

We were looking for an Irish boys name last year and came across this great site - really useful as it tells you how they are pronounced!

It's not Kieran it's Ciaran if you want authentic. None begin with K,they're all C IIRC.

Tommy · 04/08/2007 22:07

someone I know has called their baby Cennan (not sure if that's the spelling) pronounced with a soft "C"

Thanks myermay, we have finally decided on Kailen as Jack's middle name! With only 14 weeks to go I was starting to panic LOL!

A small related plea: if anyone is thinking of calling their boy Sean, please note the spelling.

It is not Shaun. That is a plasticine sheep.
