[name]Hi[/name], for a girl we’re thinking [name]Rose[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]. [name]Ryan[/name]‘s my maiden name ([name]Lennon[/name] and [name]Barrett[/name] are our mothers’ maiden names) so [name]Ryan[/name] will be at least one middle name for a boy too if not the only middle name.
Boys’ first names - we’re a bit stumped. My Irish husband likes [name]Oisin[/name] and [name]Cormac[/name] but I don’t think they flow so well with our surname. I quite like [name]Gabriel[/name] and [name]Emmet[/name]. [name]Callum[/name] is ok but I’ve gone off C names (because we have one child whose initials are CC already). Thoughts? Suggestions? Much appreciated!
I like the names [name]Emmet[/name] & [name]Gabriel[/name]! Not a fan of [name]Callum[/name].
what about some of these names:
[name]Everett[/name]
[name]August[/name]
[name]Oscar[/name]
[name]Roman[/name]
[name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Emmet[/name] sounds the best with [name]Cate[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name], as all 3 end in t. [name]Oisin[/name] sounds clumpy next to [name]Ryan[/name] with the double n endings. [name]Emmet[/name] [name]Cormac[/name] sounds the best with its repetitive m sounds and [name]Emmet[/name] [name]Cormac[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] Clearly sounds okay, too!
[name]May[/name] I suggest [name]Argyle[/name] as an Irish middle name? I like the sound of [name]Emmet[/name] [name]Argyle[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] and [name]Argyle[/name] means “from [name]Ireland[/name]” I believe, so I think its nice!
Thank you both for your feedback. DH has vetoed [name]Emmet[/name] and [name]Gabriel[/name]. I have vetoed [name]Oisin[/name] so we are left with [name]Cormac[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]. Still not convinced we couldn’t do better than [name]Cormac[/name] or [name]Rose[/name] for that matter. So happy with my daughters’ names and want to feel the same about baby 3!
I was just looking at some other Irish names…
[name]How[/name] about some of these
[name]Declan[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Conor[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Finn[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Aisling[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Brigid[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Tierney[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Saoirse[/name] [name]Ryan[/name]
Thanks. I like [name]Saoirse[/name] (and [name]Sadhbh[/name] and Tadhgh) but think it’s best to stick with a phonetic name.
We know other kids called [name]Declan[/name] and [name]Finn[/name] and my ex is [name]Ronan[/name]! Guess DH doesn’t like [name]Everett[/name] for same reason he doesn’t like [name]Emmet[/name] or [name]Elliot[/name].
[name]New[/name] boy ideas -
[name]Calvin[/name] (not Irish at all, but [name]Cal[/name] is a nice nn and [name]Calvin[/name] is cooler than [name]Callum[/name]?),
[name]Redmond[/name] or [name]Malachy[/name] (family names),
[name]Jude[/name] (too similar to [name]Juliet[/name]?)
Only two weeks to go and getting a boy vibe - help please!!!
Like single syllable names with middle name [name]Ryan[/name] (hence [name]Jude[/name]) but nothing too modern like [name]Jett[/name]…
A name that came to mind that I think you guys might like is [name]Grant[/name]. [name]One[/name] syllable, ends in a -t like his sisters, and sounds great with the last name!
[name]Grant[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Rhett[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]West[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Flynn[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Beau[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Brock[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Drew[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Dean[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Hayes[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Lyle[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Piers[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Reid[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Zeke[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
Here are some longer names that I think work well, some with one-syllable nicknames :
[name]Fletcher[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Foster[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Theo[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Easton[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] “[name]East[/name]”
[name]Angus[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] “[name]Gus[/name]”
[name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] “Bash” “[name]Ash[/name]”
[name]Bowen[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] “[name]Bo[/name]”
Brecan [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] “[name]Breck[/name]”
[name]Camden[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] “[name]Cam[/name]”
[name]Eamon[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] “[name]Eames[/name]”
I really like [name]Calvin[/name] and [name]Malachy[/name]. Have you thought of [name]Caleb[/name] or [name]Micah[/name]?
Or even: [name]Cormac[/name] [name]Malachy[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] or [name]Malachy[/name] [name]Cormac[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] or even [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cormac[/name] [name]Malachy[/name]?
Thank you. So new "short"list:
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Jude[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name] [name]James[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] or just [name]Cormac[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Peter[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] (nickname JP, my dad is [name]Peter[/name])
[name]Michael[/name] [name]Malachy[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Redmond[/name] [name]Malachy[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] or just [name]Redmond[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
Thoughts?!
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Jude[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] -This flows quite nicely
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Peter[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] -[name]Love[/name] the nn JP, although I am bias since I have a friend with that nn.
I like these three the best, with [name]Michael[/name] [name]Malachy[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] coming out on top! I would be tempting to call him [name]Michael[/name] [name]Malachy[/name] all the time though. It just sounds so yummy to me!
[name]Michael[/name] [name]Malachy[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name]
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] or [name]Cormac[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] are my favorites.
BTW thank you v much for all these suggestions. I liked [name]Grant[/name] and [name]Ford[/name] but DH vetoed these along with most of your other suggestions! He doesn’t like names that sound like surnames…
I will work on DH re [name]Michael[/name] [name]Malachy[/name] tonight!..

Hello All,
Thank you so much for your help with naming my third baby - I ended up to having a [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Ryan[/name_u].
Now I’m pregnant with number 4. DH and I have pretty much agreed on [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Peter[/name_m] for a boy. The family names we’d like to use for a girl are [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is one of my middle names so not essential. My current shortlist is:
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Iseult[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] Sadhbh [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Iseult[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Iseult[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
The last one’s my favourite but DH will need convincing on [name_f]Iseult[/name_f].
All thoughts appreciated!
Had to comment on this- I’m currently expecting a [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], but just yesterday was thinking how perfect a sister [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] would be down the road. So [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] gets my vote 100%. [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] is beautiful, classic and underused. Also a sibset of [name_f]Cate[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] is amazing!
Oh, congratulations on [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Ryan[/name_u]. That is beautiful! Congrats on number 4.
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] are beautiful. I quite like [name_f]Eva[/name_f] Isuelt [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
[name_f]Iseult[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
or
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Isuelt
p.s. It looks like [name_m]Redmond[/name_m] didn’t get much feedback your previous go round but I think it’s so handsome. Definitely a fan.
[name_f]Iseult[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is beautiful! [name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering, how do you pronounce it? I’ve heard multiple ways.
