I am pregnant with my 3rd child, finding out sex in 2 weeks. I have 2 boys [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_u]Reid[/name_u] and have a 2 syllable surname starting with B. The boys have family middle names.
I would love to stick with the Irish/Gaelic theme with 1 or 3 syllables to flow. I’m stuck on [name_u]Shay[/name_u]/[name_u]Shae[/name_u] for a Girl, and I’m stumped for a Boy name. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_u]Reid[/name_u] and [name_u]Shay[/name_u] (or [name_u]Shae[/name_u], but I personally like the “y” spelling) sound like a perfect subset, and some other names I think would fit are:
Girls:
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u]
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
[name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_f]Evanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u]
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f] (or [name_f]Neve[/name_f])
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]
Boys:
[name_m]Alec[/name_m]
[name_u]Blaine[/name_u]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_u]Bryce[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_u]Duff[/name_u]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Hayes[/name_m]
[name_m]Kane[/name_m]
[name_m]Keith[/name_m]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m]
[name_m]Mack[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_u]Neil[/name_u] (or [name_u]Niall[/name_u])
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_m]Scott[/name_m]
[name_m]Sean[/name_m] (or [name_u]Shaun[/name_u], [name_u]Shawn[/name_u])
[name_u]Shane[/name_u]
[name_u]Sheridan[/name_u]
[name_m]Teague[/name_m]
All names (except [name_m]Knox[/name_m]) are of Celtic, Gaelic, Irish, and Scottish origins. I also avoided any names that sounded too similar to your boys’ names, like any “[name_u]Finn[/name_u]-” and “[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]-” names. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!
[name_u]Niall[/name_u] pronounced “[name_u]Nile[/name_u]”
[name_m]Ross[/name_m]
Thanks violet1298, exactly what I needed,I’'ll keep this list for the hospital ”. Fionnabhair, great name I love the meaning also “cloud”. Thanks
I love so many Gaelic girls names ([name_f]Aoife[/name_f], [name_f]Siobhan[/name_f], [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]) but boys are a lot harder!
I like [name_m]Cael[/name_m], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] and [name_m]Connor[/name_m] but my favourite for [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_m]Ried[/name_m] would be [name_m]Callen[/name_m].
[name_u]Shae[/name_u] is fantastic for a girl and fits so well! I’m sure you’re fully aware but it’s also a male name, I’ve met a couple of male [name_u]Shae[/name_u]'s and they both really suited their names.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] FYI [name_u]Shay[/name_u] would be considered a boy’s name in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] for a girl. Or Úna
Good to know, but that’s especially interesting since I’ve never met a [name_u]Shay[/name_u] but have met two male [name_u]Shae[/name_u]'s!
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_u]Shae[/name_u]/[name_u]Shay[/name_u]
[name_u]Camden[/name_u] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Cormac[/name_m]
[name_m]Cedric[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m]
I always loved the name [name_f]Aoife[/name_f], so that could be used for a middle name.
Off the top of my head I can think of [name_m]Cillian[/name_m], [name_m]Nolan[/name_m], [name_u]Dara[/name_u], [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
I’m obsessed with Irish Gaelic names! My favourite for a boy is [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] (pronounced [name_m]Tige[/name_m], like the start of tiger) and I think it fits really well with [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_u]Reid[/name_u], but pronunciation is obviously an issue unless you’re in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f].
I love [name_u]Shae[/name_u] on a boy too though. And I think some other good girl options could be something like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] or [name_u]Tully[/name_u].
Great suggestions, thank you.
Well 20 week scan shows it’s a boy. [name_u]Niall[/name_u] has been scrapped by hubby, he approves of [name_m]Cael[/name_m] though.
[name_m]Kane[/name_m] is a one-syllable Irish surname in my family tree.
