[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
Nice list! [name_f]My[/name_f] family are Eastern European Jewish, but I married into an Irish family so hypothetically using some of my favorite Irish names would be totally normal. Which is exciting, because there are so many gems.
Here are my thoughts on your boy list:
[name_m]Callum[/name_m]-I love it. It’s handsome & gentle but still very masculine. And the nn [name_u]Cal[/name_u] is very cool. I kind of prefer the [name_m]Calum[/name_m] spelling. It looks sleeker to me, but [name_m]Callum[/name_m] is more well known. This really goes well w/all of your mn choices.
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]-I love this. It’s one of my nephew’s name. It’s smart, sporty, witty & sweet. Kind of getting popular, but not too bad. [name_f]My[/name_f] nephew is [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], which I find very handsome. [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] or [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] are also quite nice.
[name_u]Aidan[/name_u]-I really like it. And I’m w/you…[name_u]Aiden[/name_u] is totally not as good. [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] is like [name_m]Callum[/name_m] in that it’s gentle & sweet sounding, yet still masculine. I like [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] from your mn list.
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]-I’m not super into this one. I think that it’s because it reminds me of the world ‘gruff’. And I’m more into gentler boy names.
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]-This isn’t bad. I feel like it’s a little bland, but it’s nice. I much prefer the Scottish spelling of [name_m]Graeme[/name_m].
[name_u]Lyle[/name_u]-This is different. It’s not one that I think of much, but it’s nice. Simple yet way under done. Kind of charming!
Here are a few of my favorite Scottish/Irish names that you haven’t mentioned-
[name_m]Brendan[/name_m]/[name_u]Brennan[/name_u]-I kind of prefer [name_m]Brendan[/name_m]. [name_u]Brennan[/name_u] is more unique though.
[name_m]Colm[/name_m]-[name_f]My[/name_f] absolute favorite!
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_m]Cullen[/name_m]
[name_m]Ciaran[/name_m]
[name_m]Cian[/name_m]
[name_u]Casey[/name_u]
[name_m]Cillian[/name_m]
[name_m]Eamon[/name_m]
[name_m]Ewan[/name_m]-[name_f]My[/name_f] second absolute favorite!
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_u]Finlay[/name_u]
[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]
[name_m]Finnian[/name_m]
[name_m]Hamish[/name_m]
[name_m]Liam[/name_m]-obviously annoyingly popular.
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachy[/name_m]
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]
[name_u]Noel[/name_u]
[name_u]Niall[/name_u]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Padraig[/name_m]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_u]Rafe[/name_u]
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Seamus[/name_m]/[name_u]Shea[/name_u]
And here are my thoughts on your girls:
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]-[name_m]Just[/name_m] beautiful. It’s elegant yet not frilly. It grows up well, but I can also picture it on a little girl in a meadow wearing an [name_f]Easter[/name_f] dress. I like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]!
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]-This is lovely too. Ultra feminine & simple. Yet somehow not over done. [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u] is my pick.
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]-I love this, but it seems nick-namey. I like it as a nn for [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], [name_f]Maureen[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_f]Mary[/name_f].
[name_f]Neve[/name_f] or [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]-[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]! The authentic spelling is worth the trouble. A handful of my little Irish named nephews have tricky names. People are confused at first, but they figure it out after being told. It’s not a big deal, & like I said, totally worth it to keep the authenticity. [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] is gorgeous. It’s like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], but a bit more unique. I like [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] a lot.
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]-This is beautiful, but unfortunately the world has caught on. I run into a ton of little Islas.
[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]-This is okay. It’s not my favorite, but it’s different.
I find [name_f]Scotland[/name_f] as a girls middle name super cute!-I don’t know. It’s not my style, but maybe as a mn.
