I need a boy’s name for our baby. It must be 1) a saint’s name 2) more than one syllable since we have a one syllable last name 3) preferably Irish or Scottish origins. We don’t mind classic British names either.4) nothing in the top dozen, but nothing too out there. Our other son is [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] which we love. We also liked [name_u]Owen[/name_u] a lot, but there are just waaaaay to many around here now. Husband likes [name_m]Kellan[/name_m], but everyone I mention that too thinks it’s a girl’s name and I’d rather he didn’t deal with that throughout life. I have no other ideas except I’d like [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] for the middle name.
Hmmm, what about [name_m]Cillian[/name_m]/ [name_m]Killian[/name_m]
Actually, I love that name, but we have some friends who already used it )-:
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Connor[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
Maybe [name_m]Callum[/name_m]? [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]. [name_m]Callum[/name_m] is the Scottish form of [name_u]Columba[/name_u], which is a saint name. Personally I love how [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] and [name_m]Callum[/name_m] sound together, in my mind they are perfect brother names.
Great ideas! I love [name_m]Callum[/name_m], and [name_m]Declan[/name_m]!
I think [name_m]Declan[/name_m] is a good choice. A saints name that goes well with [name_m]Callum[/name_m] and [name_m]Garett[/name_m].
Great ideas! I love [name_m]Callum[/name_m], and [name_m]Declan[/name_m]!
I know a [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] with a sister [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] and brothers [name_m]Issac[/name_m] and [name_u]Brayden[/name_u]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] and [name_m]Declan[/name_m] would both be great, I prefer [name_m]Callum[/name_m] because I like [name_u]Cal[/name_u] better than Dec for a quick nickname. [name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_m]Cullen[/name_m]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m] ([name_m]Mac[/name_m]!)
[name_u]Murphy[/name_u]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Lorcan[/name_m]
[name_u]Brady[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]
[name_m]Brandan[/name_m]
[name_m]Abel[/name_m]
Sorry for any repeats… Here’s a few suggestions…

[name_m]Beacon[/name_m]
[name_m]Lambert[/name_m]
[name_u]Blaine[/name_u]
