That Hunky Irish/Scottish Guy...

General Name Discussion
1

Picture a hunky Irish/Scottish guy, gorgeous brown hair, mesmerizing eyes, perfect accent, equally rugged and tender, the muscles, you know. :slight_smile: What’s his name?

I feel the itch to start a new writing project, and the idea of a Gaelic guy with an accent has always appealed to me. I’ve tossed around [name]Gavin[/name], [name]Shea[/name], [name]Declan[/name], and [name]Brody[/name] so far. What would you add to that list?

I figured there would be more responses here than the writing forum.

Thanks, ladies!

I’d add [name]Desmond[/name] and [name]Cormac[/name].

3

You’ve just described [name]Gerard[/name] [name]Butler[/name] perfectly :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe [name]Connor[/name]?

4

I like [name]Sullivan[/name]. [name]Sully[/name] would be a sexy nickname.

@oddcreature - Ha! I didn’t even think of that, haha. I wasn’t trying to make any Hollywood connections because I’d like to have the character stand on its own. Funny enough, the guy I had in my mind didn’t look like [name]Gerard[/name] [name]Butler[/name] at all. :slight_smile: [name]Connor[/name] would be a nice addition… if it wasn’t already very closely tied to a horrid [name]Connor[/name] I know. :frowning:

@peppersprout - [name]Sullivan[/name]! Why didn’t I think of that? That’s perfect!

[name]Eoin[/name] (said like [name]Owen[/name]) works for me.

[name]Gareth[/name] is growing on me.

[name]Malachy[/name] is sexy in the right accent as is [name]Cillian[/name].

8

I like [name]Eoghan[/name] and [name]Shane[/name].

9

My favorite Scottish boys name is [name]Alasdair[/name].

10

I have no name suggestions for you, I quite like [name]Sullivan[/name] nn [name]Sully[/name]. I would like to request that we as berries get to read this story!!

11

haha! If it ever becomes a story, I wouldn’t mind sharing. :slight_smile: I really have no ideas as of yet besides hunky Scottish dude that may or may not emigrate to the US. haha.

12

[name]Liam[/name] Neeson <drools>

Is [name]Bruce[/name] a Scottish name? That would be refreshing for a character name.

13

I picture [name]Johnathan[/name] [name]Rhys[/name] Meyers from Tudors. BOY!! He’s hot!

14

I’m more than OK reading a short story that includes a few pages describing said hunky Scottish dude! :slight_smile:

15

@jersey_gray - haha, well, my uncle’s name is [name]Bruce[/name] (and his brother’s mn is [name]Bruce[/name]), so using [name]Bruce[/name] itself probably wouldn’t happen. It is a nice name, though.

@lainy - well, it would end up being a novel, not just a short story, haha, but I’d be willing to share some of it. :slight_smile:

Irish: Lorcan O’Shaughnessy

Scottish: Duncan Macgregor
