Irish names

So, people keep asking us what we are going to name Superbaby...I know still a ways away, but we haven't really had a chance to discuss names. Ryan really wants to carry on the "Irish" name tradition since his family all has Irish names, so I am just putting a feeler out there if anyone has any fun names or Irish names for Superbaby Ryan O'Berry (we are going to have his middle name be Ryan).

I found a cool website to help you out:

My top picks are: Aidan, Brendan, Conor, Dylan,Emmet, Liam, Patrick, Riley & Sean.

Have fun! Picking a name is fun (and sometimes challenging!)

PS- It's also good to think about what the initials will be (ARO, BRO, CRO etc. I think you're pretty safe though!)

Also, to think about what nicknames could be! We didn't think Sawyer was very nick-namable and here we find ourselves calling him Soy! :)

I like Tysha's suggestions, if we had had a boy this time, we were considering going with Brennan or Brendan. However, I hear that people can't hear the "e" in Brendan and will call him BrAndon with an "a". I also really like Connor. That's my nephews name. Very cool.

Good luck!

Nothing to say other than that I think naming babies is tough stuff! ...at least it is for us! (maybe we're both just too opinionated for our own good :) Anyway, I wish you and Ryan lots of luck in easily deciding on a name that you both love!!

my vote (not that you're asking for it) is for Aidan or Patrick...love those names!!! :)

FYI, Patrick is out, because Ryan's dad's name is Patrick and so is Ryan's middle name is that. Aidan...I'm pondering, but it is SO popular right now in Utah, I'm not sure.... thanks for the help so far guys!

If you kind of like Aidan, perhaps Braden? I'm not so sure of it's Irish Heritage...but I think it's cute and could even be Brady.?

good luck with the name biz. I don't have any suggestions, but whatever you do, try and have a few you BOTH like before he is born even if you don't have one set in stone. If lots of people are bugging you about a name, just tell them you can't name someone you've never seen.
