Garbhán
It's pronounced gar-vawn. It's Irish. I know the spelling would put a lot of people off the name, but what do you think of the sound? WDYT of the combo Garbhán Ruaidhrí (roo-uh-ree)?

I don't like it I do like Ruaidhri

I dislike Garbhán. It sounds too harsh and makes me think of a scheming no-do-gooder with a moustache and shifty eyes. I love Ruaidhrí though.

I like Garbhan. I have a friend by that name. Though he spells it Garvin. I love traditionally Gaelic spellings myself.

The spelling doesn't bother me at all and I quite like the sound of it. Garbhán Ruaidhrí is a nice combo although I'm not a fan of Ruaidhrí.

It's different. I like it, and your combo sounds pretty as well.

It's a different name. It means "little rough one", but I think that it works.Garbhán Ruaidhrí sounds nice, although Ruaidhrí means "red king" and in Gaelic that would imply that he has red hair. For example:Cailean fionn/bán= "fair Colin"
Máire rua= "red Mary"
Ailean donn= "brown Allen"
Deirdre dhubh= "black Deirdre"Still, I like the combination.
