Name for baby #9!

Boy Names
1

I need some name help! #9 is due in [name_f]October[/name_f], and he needs a name! I’ve used mainly Irish names for the previous 8 kids, but I can’t find any Irish boy’s names that I love this time. I love the name [name_m]Riordan[/name_m], but worry that he’ll hate hearing it mispronounced for the rest of his life. I tend to gravitate toward the more unusual names, while my husband likes more mainstream ones. I’m looking for any suggestions! Thanks!

(This is boy #5, btw! I’ve separated my boys and girls in my signature)

Riordan is nice – if pronunciation an issue, perhaps spelling it Rordan might work – though it is very similar to his brother’s/sister’s names (but as you do have three Ro- names already, I’m guessing repetition is not something you necessarily want to avoid).

A few ideas for you…

Congratulations on #9 !!! Thats so wonderful
I can see how your current pic would be troublesome with pronunciation…
[name_m]Killian[/name_m] , Corrigan, [name_m]Finian[/name_m] , [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] , [name_m]Rourke[/name_m] , [name_u]Rory[/name_u] , [name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
I like your other kids names, and they have their own sort of pattern about them that you can see by now I’ve laid them out here. I like that they really seem to go together as siblings names and aren’t trying to be similar or dissimilar … Something refreshing about them together
[name_m]Riordan[/name_m] fits in well but aside from also being easy to mjspronounce… It’s almost too similar to [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]… [name_m]Just[/name_m] beginning and ending the same like that maybe worth not using for those reasons together… Though it you love it enough go for it.

I’ll see if I can think of any suggestions

I disagree with other posters. [name_m]Riordan[/name_m] is lovely and doesn’t sound too much like [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] to me.

Americans are learning to pronounce [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]. They’ll figure out [name_m]Riordan[/name_m] pretty quickly. :slight_smile:

Thank you for all the suggestions! My husband loves the name [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m], so he’ll be happy to hear how often it showed up here!

I did happen upon [name_m]Gallagher[/name_m] last night while I scrolled through tons of names again. Is this a usable option? I like it, but maybe it’s too off from my other names. My husband likes it, so at least we’re not at odds over it!

I love [name_m]Riordan[/name_m] but i think you have too many R’s already

I adore [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] with the bunch

[name_m]Gallagher[/name_m] would work too!

I agree with the too many r names. I think that’s my main reason to look for something other than [name_m]Riordan[/name_m]. Pretty sure it’s going to come down to [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] or [name_m]Gallagher[/name_m]. I’ve never had such a time deciding on a boy name. Usually it’s girl names I have trouble with, and of course I had a great one picked out before we knew it was another boy, haha.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions! Really appreciate it.

I think you have enough R names already, so I wouldn’t use [name_m]Riordan[/name_m].
