Irish or Scottish middle names to go with Samuel?

irishmom · January 17, 2012, 12:21pm

Any genius ideas?

Brothers are [name]Leo[/name] [name]Magnus[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Arthur[/name]. Or do you dislike [name]Samuel[/name] with those names? I’m not dead set on [name]Samuel[/name] so you won’t hurt my feelings and I would love your suggestions.

Many thanks-
[name]Tara[/name]

Thanks, [name]Mischa[/name]!

We can’t use [name]Duncan[/name] because our last name is [name]Wood[/name] and that would lead to teasing ;). Can’t use [name]Ryan[/name] as that’s one of our daughters middle names. I looooove [name]Graham[/name] (it’s on my short list as a first name) but does ‘[name]Sam[/name]-’ and ‘[name]Graham[/name]’ work?
I do really like [name]Cormac[/name], [name]Eamon[/name], [name]Brendan[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Gregor[/name] (have a family surname of [name]MacGregor[/name] on my Dad’s side) [name]Quinlin[/name] (happens to be the last name of my favorite Nun at church).

Thanks so much for your reply. I shall mull them over

Best-
[name]Tara[/name].

Wow you got a lot of suggestion in this thread. The only one i thought to add is [name]Cyril[/name]. You did mention [name]MacGregor[/name] name in your family. What about twisting that to [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Mack[/name]?

shieldsc · January 17, 2012, 9:09pm

[name]Samuel[/name] [name]Kieran[/name] was the first thing that popped into my mind. Good luck!

lauren-kay · January 17, 2012, 9:25pm

I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Leo[/name], [name]Ronan[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name]!
It’s probably the most obvious Irish name but I love [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Conor[/name]. Also really like [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Taliesin[/name], although that’s Welsh…Still Celtic though!

[name]Samuel[/name] [name]Rhys[/name] ([name]Reece[/name]/[name]Reese[/name]).
If I didn’t have a [name]Sam[/name] in my family, I would have suggested [name]Samuel[/name] as an option to my other half, so it is def a good name in my books.

Ooooo! I really like [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]! So handsome! Thanks for suggesting it.
