Re: Irish Names
Out of yours I love Edan & Lorcan....My favorites:Aine: "radiance", I think it is feminine, but strong.
Aoife: "beauty", I like the sound & the mythology behind it.
Caoimhe: "beautiful, gentle, kind". It's a pretty spelled "Keeva".
Emer: "swift"
Caitria: I'm not usually a Cait/Cate name fan, but I like the balance it has.
Fiona: "vine"
Maeve: "intoxicating"
Bran: "raven", Simple, but with strength.
Conan: "little wolf". Despite Conan O'Brien, I still love this (and Conan O'Brien, hah).
Ciaran: "black"
Colin: Colin has a boyish sweetness that I love.
Cormac: "wheel", "raven". It just has a strength that I like.
Faolan: I love F names. They have spunk.
Doran: "wanderer"
Eamon
Oscar: "deer lover" I would name my son this today, if DH would agree.
Tiernan: "little lord"
I'm not usually a fan of -an names on boys, but... well, I like a lot of the Irish ones...

Caoimhe is lovely and the meanings are wonderful. You have a lot of great names listed here. I especially like Bran and Faolan. How do you pronounce Faolan? Is it Fay-ol-an or Fowl-an?
