I’ve got a family in my novel that all have Gaelic-y names (Cormac, Tavish, Faron, Rafferty, etc).

Their only daughter is Bronwen, nn Wren

I want to give her a male twin with the nn Robin… but want it to be a nickname too, preferably for a male name that is Irish/Scottish/Welsh/Cornish vibes.

Any ideas would be a big help!!
