[quote=Anonymous]Before we found out sex for my dd, we settled on Finian (nn Finn) for a boy. Ended up having a Caroline. Six months later my cousin had twin boys—first boys in the generation after 11 girls in a row—and named them Finn and Ian. (He has no idea about our name choice so this was just a bizarre coincidence.) Unfortunately, we live 30 min from them and see them multiple times a year for family gatherings so this isn’t a “distant cousin we’ll never see” sort of thing.

Anyway, my husband and I are having a hard time moving on now that we are nearing the end of my second pregnancy, this time with a boy. DH is first generation Irish-American  with a “hard” to pronounce Irish name that he usually just anglicizes for strangers but is drawn to names with an Irish origin—just pronounceable ones.

My current consideration list:
1. Nolan (Texas friends have tried to ruin this by saying it makes them think of beef.)
2. Benjamin, nn Ben (adore Ben but wish it wasn’t top 10.)
3. William, nn Will (same as above)

Husband’s list:
1. Liam (his middle name and like 7 of his cousins and so overdone IMO)
2. Connor (it’s fine but it sounds cutesy with Caroline and I have annoying family that would 100% call him Conman)
3. Gavin (I do like this but something about it feels trendy and not strong/classic to me)
4. Declan (Same as above)

What name are we missing? What would you go with? [/quote]
