What are your favorite Irish/Celtic boy names?

Up until yesterday my DH and I were set on Sean Patrick (DH's name is Sean).  Now he is having second thoughts.  Any ideas for an Irish/Celtic first name that goes with Sean as a middle name??

Declan

One of my favorites is Seamus (pronounced "Shay-mus" and it's Gaelic for James.)

I love the boy name Shannon.  But Shannon Sean sounds horrible.

Im not sure of your reason for changing the name, other than the confusion of having 2 Seans in the house- so what about Patrick Sean?

I love the name Sean...it was between Sean & Ryan for DS & dh liked Ryan a little better.  But that probably doesn't help...Ryan Sean doesn't really sound right to me.

Sean is a better first name I think than a middle...JMO

ahhh Sean Patrick is so cute. And there is the Gaelic form of Patrick which is Padraig or Padriac i believe. Shane is my favorite, but Shane Sean would not sound good!! I come from a family with lots of Gaelic names so i could throw alot out there. Maybe Declan ,Riocard(don't pronounce the "O"),Brody,Colin,Rowan,Craig,Connor,Keiron,Kevin,Pearce,James,Nolan, Kyle, Liam,Trevor......

My DH's name is Sean too!   We're also going with traditional Irish names; so, I've been looking at these for a while!  Here are some that I like (that you may or may not like with Sean for a mn!):

Declan

Dugan

Eagan/Egan

Ewan

Colm

Lachlan or Laughlin (close, but slightly different pronounciations)

Hugh (my grandpa's name)

Brennan

Cormac

Murphy

Monroe

Cullen

Kieran

Finnian/Finnigan/Fionn/Finn/Finley (you get the picture!)

Quinlan

The only one I'd add that I didn't see is Eamon (Ay-mon).

Behindthename.com has good lists by ethnic groups. Just wanted to point out that some names are Irish and Scottish, like Colin.
