My husband and I are having a really tough time coming up with names for our first son - all of the names we’ve liked seem to be so overused ([name]Ethan[/name], [name]Jacob[/name]/[name]Jake[/name], [name]Jack[/name]) or we don’t like the nn associated with them ([name]Connor[/name] ([name]Con[/name]), [name]Nathan[/name] ([name]Nat[/name])). Our last name is Irish and begins with an R. Our daughter’s full name is [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Nicole[/name]…both kids will be 19 months apart. Any ideas???
Let’s see…

[name]Beckett[/name] (B theme, though)

[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Finnian[/name]
[name]Grady[/name]
[name]Quinlan[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Non[/name]-Irish, along the lines of [name]Nathan[/name] and [name]Jack[/name]:

[name]Charles[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name]

[name]Edward[/name] (nn [name]Teddy[/name])
[name]Gabriel[/name]

Good luck!
I like the suggestion for [name]Myles[/name]. Goes well with [name]Brenna[/name].
I love the name [name]Brenna[/name]! I will put stars by my faves to go with [name]Brenna[/name]. Sometimes my fave names that go with [name]Brenna[/name] are not Irish. I am putting the names together because I love them both so much that I figure they go together.
