What is a good Irish name for a boy?

I have a daughter who we named Aidan Caragh T***** (2 syllables). It means little firey one. I am looking for a Irish boys first and middle name. Suggestions?

Traditional Irish names are difficult to spell and pronounce, so I have given the traditional Irish form, how it is translated in English (in brackets) and the meaning.





BRANDON: Often used in place of Brendan, but is in fact a different name. May derive from 'bran' meaning raven.





BREANDAN (Brendan): Means 'prince'. A name which has been in consistent use in Ireland since the 6th century at least.





CIAN: Means 'long lived' or 'ancient one'. (Kian is a variation)





CIARAN (Kieran) Means: 'little dark one'. There are several saints of this name in Irish history.





CONAN: Means 'little hound'. Was a common name in early Ireland.





CONCHOBHAR (Conor, Connor): Means 'lover of hounds'.





DEAGLAN (Declan): Old name of uncertain origin.





EAMON: Means 'keeper of riches'.





FERGUS: 'Fear' means 'man'; 'gus' means 'stong', so 'strong man'.





FIONN (Finn): Means 'fair headed' or 'white'. Finn McCool is probably is one of the best known characters of Irish folklore and mythology.





LIAM: Irish form of William.





LOCHLANN: Means 'place of the lakes' and is a Viking rather than an Irish word. After the Vikings were defeated, most of them left Ireland, but a considerable number remained and intermarried. This was a name commonly given to their descendants.





PADRAIG (Patrick): Obviously the use of the name is in honour of St Patrick, parton saint of Ireland and reputedly the man who brought Christianity to Ireland. The name itself is Latin in origin and means 'of noble birth'.





RIAN (Ryan): Means 'little king'. The English version is not common in Ireland as a first name but is one of the most common Irish surnames.





RUAIRI (Rory): Means 'red king'.





SEAMUS: Irish form of James.





SEAN: Irish form of John which in turn means 'gracious gift of God'. (Shawn, Shaun are variants)





TIARNAN (Tiernan): Means 'little lord'.
