OP here. It’s not of Irish origin—it was my pick that my dh agreed to because I loved it so much—but it IS used in Ireland and got a very positive reception from all the Irish relatives.

How about Patrick?

I love Gavin and had considered it for our first and last baby boy who surprised me by being a girl!

I also like all of your other choices. I’m of Irish heritage and in looking through our family tree, my Irish great uncles and male cousins include;

John
Michael
Patrick
James
William
Joseph
Sean
Matthew
Timothy
Colin

23:18 Agree with the Patrick suggestion! Such a handsome and classic Irish name! Bigger fan of Patrick, not Pat.

What about Lachlan?

That's a Scottish name

A first-gen Irish person will NOT think it's cute to use Liam as a nickname for William. Liam is the entire name. It's William in English.

How about John or Michael? Strong.
