Re: Would love your help with Irish, Gaelic, and Scottish names
I love quite a few Irish & Scottish names, so I can understand the hesitation in using them in the U.S. :-/ However, from your list, I like (and think could work nicely...)--Cian - I love this spelling, but Kian might be a little easier and it's still nice.
Ciaran - Same here, but I love this spelling so much more than Kieran (and it's not like people won't butcher that, too - LOL)
Cillian - I like this but be prepared for mispronunciations. I dislike Killian and Kilian (kill Ian? lol), but perhaps with the actor Cillian Murphy gaining more popularity people will be more aware of how it's prn.
Colin
Declan - getting more popular
Eamon
Finn - love!
Hugh
Lachlan
Ronan
Rory - I adore this!
Tadhg - This is probably the hardest to spell/prn. on your list, unfortunately. I love it, too, though. :(
Alastair
Callum
Cullen
Donovan
Duncan
Graham
Grady
Grant
Ian
