Not KU, but DH and I talk about names all the time. I'd like to use an Irish name, preferably one that isn't very common, and I like Declan but DH won't get on board. Any ideas?

    My Irish friend (as in, from Ireland, lives in Ireland) has two sons named Cathal and Ronan.  Not a huge fan of Cathal but I like Ronan.

    I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

    Declan is jumping up the charts in popularity right now.  I love it, but if you are truly going for more obscure Irish names I would not pick it.

    My son is Connor Patrick, very Irish, but not exactly unique or unusual.  That being said, we don't know any other little boys named Connor in our social circle, my daughter's preschool, or with FB friends.  I know they are out there since Connor is well entrenched in the top 100, they just aren't on my block :).

    I like the name Ronan (I find it to be very masculine), Sean, Liam, Finn, Ryan, Callum, and Cian.

    4 miscarriages: 2007, 2009, 2013, 2014

    No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.

    We've been calling this baby Seamus (although obviously we don't know the sex yet). Our frontrunner for an actual name is Malcolm.

    I knew a very Irish family when I worked at a daycare, and their son was Cormac. He was a great kid, too!

    My husbands family is 100% Irish on both sides.  Our boys are Marty nn (Martin Patrick) and Emmett James.  His nephews are Conor and Brendan.  Some of his first boy cousins are Collin, Nolan, Liam, Kelly (for a boy & grandmothers maiden name).

    If this baby is a boy we were thinking of Rory or Owen.  I think Declan is one of those Irish names that gets used by the masses like Aidan & Gavin.  Great names, traditionally used by Irish Americans, now being used by everyone.

    If you look at the Ireland Government list of given first names, they use mostly traditional, classic names.  Not the ones we associate with Irish heritage.
