Husband and I are JUST about to TTC in June (after 17.5 months of a failed adoption) and we picked [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Fate[/name_f] [name_f]Kinney[/name_f] as her name. Saoirse- because we love it, Katherine as a family name, Fate because it was our adoptive daughter’s nickname when we started the adoption and hadn’t picked a name yet, and Kinney is the last name. When we picked Saoirse it was like I had that CHILLS moment that I had been waiting for- and thought I had with Ingrid- but didn’t get it until choosing Saoirse. It made me that much more desperate to feel it for a boy.
We liked [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], [name_u]Cary[/name_u], [name_m]Emile[/name_m], [name_m]Hugh[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], [name_m]Roman[/name_m], [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m], and a few others not coming to mind at the moment. None were love though.
We wanted:
- strong and masculine
- traditional with a slight european feel
- gaelic- if possible- but not set on this as we don’t generally love Gaelic boys names
- soft and a touch of feminine appeal
Tall order!
Last night we finally chose [name_u]Gael[/name_u] and I finally had my chills moment. I have found it can be considered [name_m]French[/name_m] or it could be considered Irish meaning “A person of Gaelic origin”- which is the interpretation we’re going to go with 
So official name: [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Gael[/name_m] [name_m]Morgan[/name_m] [name_m]Kinney[/name_m] - going by “[name_m]Gael[/name_m]”. Charles after my spouse (he too goes by his middle name tho), [name_u]Gael[/name_u] because we love it and it brings in that Gaelic touch for us, and Morgan because it’s a name we’ve always really admired.
Had to announce since I’ve posted a ton needing help! 
(And I know we’ll get some people thinking it’s a girls name- but if you can tell by our list- we like a lot of names like that )
I honestly had given up and thought I would never find a name that mixed everything. But kept searching and there it was! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you find yours too! Any top contenders?
