I love the name Nolan. I think it would suit a little boy very well and then it would age well also. This is another favorite name of mine.

I don't know why but lately I have been very fond of this name. It's cute for a little boy but not in the way that you can't picture it being an adult's name.

My sisters would be very disappointed to see their name described as "masculine! It is such a pity, with a little responsible research you could have found this out! Nolan is never used as a forename in real Irish culture Their surname is Nolan - an ancient Celtic/Norman family with the feminine Irish form as Ní Nualláin, masculine form being Ó Nualláin.
