I already created this in the girls’ forum, so it is time for a boys’ one. I have a love for Welsh and Irish names and I’m spending time looking into them further. The below are what I have come across and I’m highly considering adding to my list. Please can you give your thoughts, maybe your loves/likes/dislikes, or just anything about the below names.
I’ve added pronunciations to the less obvious ones! Thank you.
[name_m]Emrys[/name_m]
[name_u]Aidan[/name_u]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m] [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] - on my short list [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m]
[name_m]Cillian[/name_m]
[name_m]Eoghan[/name_m] - although I would use [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m] - although I slightly prefer the [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] spelling
[name_m]Ruari[/name_m] - although I would use [name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_m]Sean[/name_m]
[name_u]Reilly[/name_u]

[name_u]Aidan[/name_u] - too tied to [name_u]Aidan[/name_u]/[name_u]Jayden[/name_u]/[name_u]Brayden[/name_u] etc
