boy name

ausx

My husband I have had a very hard time coming up with boy names that we agree on. We have narrowed it down to two names and already know the middle name (it's a family name McKeown- pronounced Mac-cue-en). So the names that we are choosing from are Tavish and Keller. I like Tavish because it is unique. However, that being said, I am worried that it sounds made up. It is an Irish name, but it is not very common. I don't want people saying: "What's your little boy's name? Me: Tavish Them:Travis? Me: "No, Tavish" Them: "Oh, Tavish. Oh, that's different (with that tone of disapproval)." Anyway, my husband has heart set on Tavish. He is possibly open to Keller, but I think that he is just throwing me a bone. If it was up to him we would never discuss it again and the baby would be Tavish. I just can't decide Keller seems like a better choice to me and a little more mainstream...

Okay, so any advice?

Tavish is unusual but it is nice (of course I love Irish/Celtic names)

I prefer Keller.

Keller means basement or cellar in German.  I wouldn't name a kid that.  Tavish is cool.

Travish sounds like the kid is trying to say Travis but has a horrible lisp. Please rethink that one.

Realllly don't like Tavish, sorry - doesn't even look like a real name to me.

I like Keller better, but both are NMS.
