Third child, unknown gender, needs a name…classic good, Irish good (although no super-complicated spelling), unusual but not pretentious good. Want a “friendly” name. Any suggestions?
I don’t know why but I think [name]Angus[/name] would be perfect! [name]Rory[/name], [name]Ned[/name] and [name]Gus[/name]!
Thanks, you know I’ve toyed with [name]Gus[/name]…and it’s still on the list. I’m not sure about the [name]Angus[/name] though and have also considered [name]Fergus[/name] but it sounds so stuffy. Is “[name]Gus[/name]” alone enough?
[name]Alannah[/name]/[name]Alanna[/name] - It has been influenced by the affectionate Anglo-Irish word alannah, from the Irish Gaelic phrase a leanbh meaning “O child”.

I love [name]Rory[/name] and [name]Ned[/name] together! So sweet. [name]Gus[/name] is great too and I think you could use it as a full name, especially with [name]Ned[/name]. Some other suggestions:

[name]Angus[/name] or [name]Fergus[/name] ([name]Gus[/name]) is a nice suggestion
[name]Griffin[/name] ([name]Finn[/name])
[name]Patrick[/name] ([name]Pat[/name])
[name]William[/name] ([name]Liam[/name])
[name]Bonnie[/name]
[name]Clover[/name]
[name]Molly[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] (not Irish, but such a bright, happy name to me)
[name]Maggie[/name] (can be a nn for so many great names, I especially like it as a shortened form of [name]Marigold[/name])
[name]Just[/name] curious, but are [name]Rory[/name] & [name]Ned[/name] nicknames?
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Brendan[/name]
[name]Ciaran[/name]
[name]Cillian[/name]
[name]Cian[/name]
[name]Angus[/name] (This was on our list, I love the nn [name]Gus[/name]!)
[name]Seamus[/name] (I would call a [name]Seamus[/name] [name]Jamie[/name] if [name]Seamus[/name] was “too much”. I know it seems weird, but I figure it works since [name]Seamus[/name] is the Irish [name]James[/name].)
[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Desmond[/name]
I also like [name]Rhys[/name], [name]Evan[/name], [name]Fergus[/name], [name]Malcolm[/name], [name]Ian[/name] & [name]Hamish[/name], although they are Welsh or Scottish and not Irish.

[name]Eilis[/name] (eye-lish)
[name]Ailis[/name] (aye-lish)
[name]Aine[/name] (awn-ya)
[name]Nora[/name] (Irish-ish…)
I also like [name]Carys[/name], [name]Betrys[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Lilias[/name] & [name]Elspeth[/name], but again, Welsh or Scottish, not irish.
I do think [name]Gus[/name] would work as a stand alone, but only is [name]Rory[/name] and [name]Ned[/name] are your other children’s full names. Oh, and is [name]Rory[/name] a boy or a girl? If she’s a girl, I’d pick something equally unisex, but if he’s a boy, I’d pick something girly. [name]LOVE[/name] the suggestion of [name]Fiona[/name].
Thanks for all the suggestions; they’re really helping. [name]Rory[/name] & [name]Ned[/name] are boys & both are full names, not nicknames. They have long “proper” middle names ([name]Robert[/name] & [name]Thomas[/name]) as balance. Any opinions on [name]Ollie[/name]? or [name]Sal[/name]/[name]Sally[/name]?
OK, well since our #1 is a (girl) [name]Rory[/name], and our #3 was SUPPOSED to be named [name]Ned[/name], I’ll suggest the name of our #2: [name]JOE[/name]!!!
Thanks - I like [name]Joe[/name]!

I think [name]Ollie[/name] is adorable and would be perfect with your boys! With that, I would assume they were all boys. I like [name]Sal[/name], but I know a [name]Salvador[/name] nn [name]Sal[/name] and he HATES when people call him [name]Sally[/name]. Ooh, what about [name]Sully[/name]? [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Chuck[/name], [name]Van[/name], [name]Vaughn[/name] ([name]Von[/name]), [name]Milo[/name], [name]Arlo[/name]… I think you need something jaunty and laid back. I really can’t wait to see what you pick!

Thanks for your suggestions - I like them. Yeah, [name]Ollie[/name] would be for a boy in this case and [name]Sal[/name] or [name]Sally[/name] for a girl.
Oh [name]Sally[/name] for a girl! I was thinking [name]Sal[/name] would be a boy. [name]Sally[/name] would be adorable!!! I love your naming style so much, it’s so fun! Here are some others that remind me of [name]Sally[/name]:

Yeah, I like that list…the kids have one Irish & one American parent & spend a lot of time in each country - so we need something that works in both places - that’s why we didn’t go for any crazy Irish spelling of [name]Rory[/name] (like [name]Ruaidhrigh[/name]), but it does also rule out very American names like [name]Clint[/name] or [name]Dexter[/name]. Hmmm…it’s tough!
I like [name]Angus[/name]! [name]Gus[/name], [name]Ned[/name] and [name]Rory[/name] sound cute together.

[name]Cormac[/name]- [name]Mac[/name] sounds great w/ [name]Ned[/name]& [name]Rory[/name].
I also think [name]Amos[/name], [name]Abram[/name] ([name]Abe[/name]) or [name]Isaac[/name] (for [name]Ike[/name]) would be cute with [name]Rory[/name] and [name]Ned[/name]. Other ideas- [name]Jay[/name], [name]Seth[/name], [name]Toby[/name], [name]Eli[/name], [name]Van[/name], [name]Beau[/name], [name]Barry[/name], [name]Dean[/name], [name]Theo[/name].
I think [name]Rory[/name], [name]Ned[/name], and [name]Percy[/name] are really cute together.
But I also like [name]Rory[/name], [name]Ned[/name], and [name]Angus[/name] “[name]Gus[/name]”.
