Reply:Here are some of my favorites (mostly Irish, a few general Celtic):





Ronan - "little seal," from the Irish Selkie legend. I'll post a site below where you can learn more about it, if you're not familiar, but it's rather interesting. Bit of an older twist on the mermaid-loves-human myths. ;)





Cillian - generally thought to be derived from the Gaelic word for "church," but sometimes considered a diminutive of Kelly/Ceallach, as well.





Lachlan/Lochlan - from the "land of lochs" nickname used to refer to a Viking (or, by extension, a child with reddish hair/coloring in general)





Ewan - generally considered a form of Irish/Scottish Eoghan, which likely means "born of the yew tree." Also used as a Celtic form of Eugene ("well born").





Harvey - of Breton origin, meaning basically "worthy in battle"





Angus - familiar Anglicization of Aonghus, meaning "one strength." Also the Irish god of love and youth. ;)





Finnian - basically Fionn/Finn with the common diminutive suffix, so "little white one"





Findlay/Finley - Anglicized forms of Fionnlagh, meaning "white warrior"





Milo - used as an Irish form of Miles and also a short form of Maol Muire (devotee of Mary).





Seamus - Irish form of James, so "supplanter; holder of the heel or may God protect" (no definitive meaning). I also love Shea as a short form, and as a stand-alone name that means "admirable; hawk-like."





Declan - popular saint's name, possibly meaning "full of goodness"





Darragh - "little oak" or "fruitful; fertile"





Donovan - basically "little dark one" or "little dark prince"





Desmond - simply "from south Munster" (an Anglicized name taken from Gaelic Deas-Mhumhan).





Oran - from Odhran, "little pale green one."





Tadhg - "poet"





Graham/Graeme - from a Scottish surname likely meaning "gravelly homestead" or simply "gray home."





Lennox - from another Scottish surname/place name that may refer to an elm, or grove of elms.





Flynn - "red"





Flannery - "red valour"





Obviously, I could go on. LOL You might find this site useful, by the way: http://www.babynamesofireland.com/ Lots of information about the myths and meanings behind many of the names, as well as audible pronunciations (should you need them). Behind the Name is another wonderfully accurate site. Here's a link to their list of masculine Irish names: http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/iri_m.p... Hope it helps! And congrats, by the way! ;)
Reply:Dylan, ( is that irish i dont know)
Reply:The name Evan comes to mind. Easy to say, easy to spell. Apparently of Welsh origin,but I like it a lot.





The boy's name Evan \e-van\ is pronounced EV-an. It is of Welsh origin. Variant of a Gaelic name anglicized as John (Hebrew) "the Lord is gracious". In Celtic, the name means "young warrior". In Welsh, it means "God is Good". It is also used as a short form of Evangelos, which means "good messenger" in Greek. In Hebrew, Evan means "rock". See also Evian.





Evan has 15 variant forms: Euan, Euen, Evann, Evans, Ev, Eva, Even, Evin, Evo, Evon, Evyn, Ewan, Ewen, Ewy and Owen.





If you want more Irish, I say you cant beat Patrick, or Padraic ( but I just dont think Paddy would cut on this side of 'the pond' !)

Buach boo-ock Means 'victor or conquerer'.





Cairbre care-bra 'Strong man'. It occurs frequently in Irish mythology, most notably as Cairbre Nia Fer, who was a King of Tara killed by Cuchulainn. His brother later had a hand in killing Cuchulainn.





Colman coal-man Means 'little dove', sometime taken to mean 'peacekeeper'.





Eamon aim-on Edmund, Edward Means 'keeper of riches'. Eamon De Valera was Ireland's first Taoiseach (prime minister) and was later President of Ireland. A variant spelling is Iamonn, which is pronounced Yamon.





Ronan roh-nan Old Irish meaning "little seal"; There was a 6th century saint of that name. Ronan was also a legendary King who was tricked by his second wife into killing his own son. It is a fairly common surname as well as first name.





Tiarn谩n tier-nawn Tiernan Means 'little lord'.











Congratz on your baby.
Reply:My parents thought about calling me Eoman (Ay-min), but they decided it's too hard for people to pronounce.





Declan is one I really like, or Ewan, or Brian.
