PLEASE HELP! Baby #2 is due tomorrow!

General Name Discussion
1

I am having so much trouble picking names this time!

Our son is named [name]Finn[/name]. I love this name. It’s got a cool meaning and it’s Irish so goes well with our Irish surname. It is not common where I live but sounds familiar and is easy to spell and pronounce.

I thought another Irish name would be perfect for this baby because our first’s is just so Irish, but I haven’t been having any luck. I have been through the lists a million times and I just don’t think it’s going to be an Irish name. So I need a new direction… what types of names go with [name]Finn[/name]?

Some we have considered but aren’t going with are:

[name]Finn[/name] and [name]Callie[/name] (just not sold on [name]Callie[/name] - not sure why… maybe too nicknameish?)
[name]Finn[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name] (I love [name]Maeve[/name] ([name]Mae[/name], too) but husband hates it)
[name]Finn[/name] and [name]Owen[/name] ([name]Owen[/name] is sooo popular here)
[name]Finn[/name] and [name]Brennan[/name] (just not too sure about this one)
[name]Finn[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] (Husband loves, I’m not too keen on)

others we have talked about -
[name]Mollie[/name], [name]Maggie[/name] (both so nicknamey)
[name]Megan[/name] ([name]Meg[/name]) (screams 80s to me)
[name]Logan[/name]/[name]Liam[/name] (soo popular)
[name]Niamh[/name] (probably [name]Neve[/name] as nobody would know how to say it here) (Husband doesn’t like)

PLEASE help if you have any ideas. This poor baby is going to be nameless!

For a girl, how about [name]Keeva[/name]?
I know strictly the Irish spelling is [name]Caoimhe[/name], but even in [name]Ireland[/name] some people spell it phonetically.
It means gentleness and beauty.

For a boy, how about [name]Evan[/name]?
Easy to spell, similar length and feel to [name]Finn[/name] yet different and still has that gaelic background. Not over popular, yet known.

Best of luck, please post a birth announcement,

I loooove [name]Bria[/name] and [name]Siobhan[/name]! I adore [name]Desmond[/name]!
From your list I like [name]Neve[/name] or [name]Owen[/name], but spelled [name]Eoin[/name].
I know people named [name]Keely[/name], [name]Cailin[/name], [name]Fallon[/name], [name]Rowan[/name] and [name]Lochlan[/name]. Their names are not popular here, so I think they sound pretty cool.
Good luck!

For a girl: [name]Maren[/name], I love [name]Maeve[/name] (sorry your husband doesn’t!), Neeve, [name]Nora[/name] and [name]Moira[/name] would all go nicely.
