"Celtic" baby names

Sean .... my middle name

 

lol, two monkeys have replied here LOL.
I like the meaning o Finian (fair). Whose baby's going to get the name btw?

 

Finian depending on what you mean by 'Celtic'.

 

I would go with either Gavin or Donovan. Both are odd enough to be different, and yet common enough to not be a total hassle for the kid for most of his early life.

I say this as a 40 year old from small town Iowa with the name Sean. Which was butchered for most of my life. It still amazes me how stupid most people are at times.

 

Connor But I believe i already sent Donovan to you in a list.

 

Chuck. Its a good all around name.

 

Liam...it's my first son's middle name

 

Just going by what's on the list, I went for Cian, but there are a lot of good Celtic names not there, of course.

 

Celtic names?
First one that comes to mind is
Larry bird roflmao







Donovan

 

I was going to suggest Roarke for a boy. No clear thoughts for a girl, but since it looks like you had all boy names up there in the poll......

liam it is the irish version of william anm first name so in theory i have three first names WILLIAM.LIAM and BILL

 

Condon......the dark haired wise man!

Now there's a name that may be wide open to a 'typo'....hehe!


Regards..

 

If you were in the USA you could also be called Willie or Dick.....I would hope you weren't called those names in the UK though roflmao

@ nitecrawler...omg...I had to look twice...it's pre-caffeine here

 

Seems congratulations are in order, even though it hasn't happened yet, (right?). :cool

Well, here's a wee list, then.

LoL! ...No comment, lest I be given a 'knuckle sandwich', by someone we both know. ...Come to think of it, you're the only one within reach.

 

Congratulations, CP. When's the baby due or should there be a pool going on?

Doncha wish your baby was butch like me...? Renato is the male form.

I still think Mason Dickson cracked me up the best

 

You could go scottish and name him Hamish meaning the Scottish form of James. The supplanter. So TECHNICALLY he would be the !V, but you got around it.

Cian is actually gaelic not celtic, and I really like it but he's going to have the same issue I have my whole life, people are going to pronounce it wrong every time they read it and spell it wrong every time they hear it.

Other ones I really like are:
Keenan which means the same thing as Cian just no lore
Reilly - Valiant

Oh, and I still love Connor wich means Much Wanted also

 

Shamus

 

Gawain - scottish

or

Kai - scottish & welsh

 

so.. that's when they find out who the mommy is?

..wait.. I'm so bad at jokes. :

 

What are you talkng about, Kodo, HE'S the mommy... Who's the daddy? $5 says Timmah!!!

 

Now I am gonna have to go find pics of the 2 of them to photoshop into what the poor kid is gonna look like.......LMAO!!

My Job here is done hehe

 

Don't have a Celtic name but reckon this name is pretty cool - 'Jye' (Jai). It's Indian, a variant of 'Jay', meaning victory. Jye is my son's name.
