[Opinions] Irish/Scottish Surnames and First Names
What male or female names can you picture going well with the surnames:MacCarrick
McFayden
MacClellan
O'Hearn
MacAslan
McGregor
McCuaig
McCuen
O'SullivanI prefer classic eccentric or classic unusual names. I would also prefer the names to be Irish, Scottish, Welsh, or English (No modern English please). If you think another name that doesn't fit those categories would go well, feel free to mention it.Also, what do you think of the names:Ciaran
Atticus
Flannery

Carey
Cillian/Killian
Conall
Cormac

Cormac has consistently been one of my top five names for a boy for years. I adore it. I don't see it combining well with any of those surname, except perhaps O'Hearn. How about these:Fergus MacCarrickDonal McFayden ("DOE-null")
Patrick McFaydenNiall MacClellan ("nile")
Finbarr MacClellanRory O'Hearn
Brian O'Hearn (There was an Irish actor named Brian Ahern that I used to love to watch.)Hugh MacAslan
Barry MacAslanMalcolm McGregor [I went to school with one and I always loved his parents for giving making this name possible :-)]Tadhg McCuaig ("tie + g")
Conor McCuaigAlistair McCuen
Gareth / Garrett McCuenEamonn O'Sullivan ("AY-mun")
Diarmuid / Dermot O'SullivanGood luck!
