Congratulations on baby! [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] is so handsome and I love the idea of a Gaelic name with him! [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] works so well with Gaelic names, too. I do like [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] a lot, and he’s handsome with Lorcan; also love the nn [name_m]Mac[/name_m] (although there are other [name_m]Mac[/name_m] names I like more than [name_m]Macauley[/name_m], personally). [name_m]August[/name_m] is beautiful, but I don’t love [name_m]August[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], and it doesn’t feel very Gaelic to me (although now that I reread your post, sounds like you’re not specifically looking for Gaelic, not sure where I got that idea but OOOOPS lol!). [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] and [name_m]August[/name_m] are really nice together, but I do find the “och” and “aug” sound to be really similar. [name_m]Ramsay[/name_m] is really lovely but I prefer [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] - I don’t love that [name_m]Ramsay[/name_m] reminds me of the famous ones (Gordon [name_m]Ramsey[/name_m], [name_m]Dave[/name_m] Ramsay); I like with [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] I don’t have prior expectations or thoughts on the name.
Here’s a few other ideas:
[name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (probably way too similar to [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] but I absolutely love [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m], le sigh)
[name_m]Rowan[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Ciaran[/name_m] Arthur/Kieran [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (feels a lot like [name_m]Keegan[/name_m] to me but more fiery?)
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (love [name_m]Rafe[/name_m]! And Rafa)
[name_m]Amias[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Rory[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Bram[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (love this with Lochlan!)
[name_m]Ewan[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Owen[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Fergus[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m] Arthur/Graeme [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Blaise[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Grey[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachy[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (or [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], I think you could easily do [name_m]Mac[/name_m] for [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] too!)
[name_m]Rhys[/name_m] Arthur/Reese [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Teague[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_f]Teagan[/name_f] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (love that [name_f]Teagan[/name_f] means “little poet”, but maybe that’s too soft and sweet too lol)
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Torin[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobin[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
Good luck!
