We are picking up our 10 week old wheaten terrier tomorrow and we have narrowed it down to five names. Wheatens are Irish, so we tried to stick with that theme!
Rooney Fergus Duffy Flynn Graham Let me know what your choice would be! |

Not on your list, but I would pick Finn McCool for an Irish name for a dog. "Finn" is close to "Flynn," though.

Is it a girl or boy? You can call it The Dutchess if it's a girl and you name her Fergus(on).

I know 3 dogs named Finn though. It might be the dog version of Aiden. |

| Finn McStay? |

OP here. It is funny because Aidan was originally on our list because that's Irish too, but then I realized we know at least ten "people" Aidans and figured it could get awkward! Thanks all. It is a boy, PP. |

Forget that, then. "Flynn" or "Fergus" would be my picks from the list. "Seamus" is also good, but it always seems like a name for hound, not a terrier, for some reason. "Cu" is "dog" in Irish. "Cu glas" (Cuglas) is "blue dog." ("Glas" is the color gray that breeders call blue.) "Cu ban" is "white dog." "Cu donn" is brown dog. "Donn" means brown. "Cuil ghorm" is blue-bottle (like the flower) and sort of puns on "cu." "Cu sith" is "fairy dog." (We named our dog "Banshee," BTW, which is the English version of "Bean sidhe" or fairy woman. "Ban" also means "white" and she's a white dog.) |

| Ugh. This is kind of like giving your chocolate lab a name like Mocha or Godiva. It seems cute at first, but turns out to not be so clever. |
