Helloooo, my wife and I have a baby girl and a baby boy on ice.. we’ve settled on [name_m]Rory[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m] for the girl.
[name_f][/name_f]
For context: I’m [name_f]Irish[/name_f] and my wife is American. [name_f]She[/name_f] loves traditionally boy names on girls. I love Celtic and Gaelic names. We cannot agree on a boys name for baby brother to [name_m]Rory[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m] and we would really appreciate any input!
[name_f][/name_f]
Potential middle names are [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m] or [name_m]Michael[/name_m]. If you could suggest names that flow well with all three middles that would be great. We’d ideally love a Celtic/Gaelic boy name which goes well with sister [name_m]Rory[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
I’ve got ties to [name_f]Australia[/name_f] also, so maybe some adventurous flare or nature-adjacent would be cool too if you’re unable to pair [name_m]Rory[/name_m] with another [name_f]Irish[/name_f] or Scottish name.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Any[/name_f] and all suggestions are welcome, please and thank you so much!
Congrats! [name_m]Rory[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m] is such a cool, spunky name for your daughter!

For a brother, I’m thinking… [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Oscar[/name_m] “Ozzy” [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Cian[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] “Sully” [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Darcy[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Murphy[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Keegan[/name_m] (love this one [name_f][/name_f] ) [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Grady[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Tully[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Niall[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ferris[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Darragh[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f]
A few that lean more “adventurous/nature-adjacent”: [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] / [name_m]Perrin[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Bram[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Caspar[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Mariner[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Townes[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Frey[/name_m]
[name_f]Rory[/name_f] [name_f]James[/name_f] is so cool! I think [name_m]Darcy[/name_m] would be really nice as a brother name, and I recently found out that [name_m]Darcy[/name_m] as a boys’ name is much more common in Australia than anywhere else. [name_m]Angus[/name_m] and [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] are Celtic names that read very Aussie to me as well. You might also like:
Thank you so much! We feel Rory’s sunky energy already and think it suits her! We LOVE [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m], I’m wonder if you can think of any other name with [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] as a nickname besides [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]? Our friend’s little boy is [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] but she doesn’t call him [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m].

We love [name_m]Cian[/name_m] and [name_m]Darragh[/name_m]! [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], [name_m]Mariner[/name_m] and [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] are awesome. We also love the nickname [name_m]Perry[/name_m] but aren’t top sure on [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] or [name_m]Perrin[/name_m].
I adore [name_m]Angus[/name_m] and [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] is actually my all-time favourite boy name. [name_f]My[/name_f] wife never said no to it but then we watched [name_m]White[/name_m] [name_f]Lotus[/name_f] and the kid ruined it for her [name_f][/name_f] I’m hoping there’ll be enough time between when we watched it and when we transfer baby boy for her to forget why she doesn’t like it!

[name_f]She[/name_f] loves [name_m]Ellis[/name_m] so much. I think [name_m]Ellis[/name_m] is too neutral almost leaning too soft with [name_m]Rory[/name_m] being so spunky. [name_f][/name_f]I love [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] and [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] but she’s a hell-no on those [name_f][/name_f]I’d love [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] but it’s too popular.. I think [name_m]Finley[/name_m] is definitely the sweet spot! Thank you!
[name_f]Teagan[/name_f], [name_f]Quinn[/name_f] or [name_f]Riley[/name_f] for a sister would be sweet! [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Reef[/name_m], [name_m]Ranger[/name_m] or [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] for a brother would be sick! Thanks for the recs!
What about [name_m]Orson[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- nickname ‘Ozzy’? I do love [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] as well, but [name_m]Orson[/name_m] gives me a similar energy and a vibe that would sit beside [name_m]Rory[/name_m] really well. [name_m]You[/name_m] could also use [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] as a name in its own right
I love [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] as well! Maybe… [name_m]Oswin[/name_m], [name_m]Osric[/name_m], [name_m]Orson[/name_m], [name_m]Boaz[/name_m], [name_m]Oisin[/name_m], [name_m]Roswell[/name_m], [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m], [name_m]Oslo[/name_m], or [name_m]Osborne[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
I also think [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] would work great as a standalone name, too! [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m], [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m], and [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] all sound lovely!
