    Some different suggestions there, thanks



    Owen - Kinda too close to Evan??
    Rhys - This one always comes up on our list but it feels like a naughty boys name (Malcolm in the Middle I think LOL)
    Kynan - Ki - nan?
    Vaughan - I like this one but dh doesn't.
    Niven - How do you say it?
    Giles - hmmmm does it suit the others? Is it too old a name on a baby/child?
    Ailean (pronounced E-lun) means "rock" or "nobel" - Gaelic - E-lun or E-loon?
    Nevin means "saint" - Gaelic
    Lorne - scottish place name - mmmm another maybe, will suggest to DH
    Torquil (pronounced Tor-call) means Thor's helmet - Not sure I like the sound of it in my head but DH would love the meaning.
    Oran - Makes me think of Orson of Desperate housewives.. But I like I like Orson anyway, will have to look up the meaning etc
    Tadhg - Tige...? Like Tiggy?


    Those are all the ones I will have a second thought on the others I didn't comment on I don't like, but thanks .

    A neighbour's boy is called Tyne (after the river). Bit different but not weird.

    We had Patrick Mackenzie picked out for a boy. Mainly because Mackenzie means "son of the handsome one" (see my sig)

    Niven - How do you say it?
    Pronounced Neh-Ven, sounds like Kevan.
    Ailean (pronounced E-lun) means "rock" or "nobel" - Gaelic
    I've only ever heard of it as E-lun
    Torquil (pronounced Tor-call) means Thor's helmet - Not sure I like the sound of it in my head but DH would love the meaning.
    I know this one is a bit out there, makes me think of the Black vulcan from Star Trek, hehe

    Another one I thought of was Shae, pronounced Shay, means "Hawklike - graceful, free, courageous", is also Gaelic

    We had Irish/Celtic names all picked out for these boys - Liam & Cale (can also be spelt Cael or Kael) but DH has now said no to Cale so it looks like we are now going with Liam & Rhys (although Rhys is Welsh the names still go together).

    Good luck with the name, I've found it hard to find boys names I liked.
