Name	M/F	Remark
Ben 1	m	Maybe it's just too short for some people?
Benjamin	m	Hmm. It's not bad, but I'd prefer just using Ben.
Bennett	m	I prefer this to Benjamin.
Brennan	m	How often would this kid get called "Brendan" instead?
Christian	m	a nice change from Christopher.
Christopher	m	I know so many people named Chris, but I can't resist using it as a middle name.
Ciarán	m	I prefer this spelling, and I think enough people know to pronounce it like Kieran (unlike poor Ciara).
Daniel	m	THE #1 boys name.
Declan	m
Duncan	m	...would unfortunately be linked to donuts here. I still like it, though.
Ethan	m	Too close to Evan now, but nice and classic.
Evan	m	It's my oldest nephew's name, therefore I'm not actually going to use it - but it's short, strong, and sweet.
Fachtna	m	Really couldn't use it, I suppose.
Faolán	m	I hope he's not clumsy, or bad at baseball. Probably wouldn't use it.
Finian	m
Ian	m	Really short for a first name. I'd use it in the middle.
Ivan	m
Jordan	m
Julian	m
Kieran	m	I prefer Ciaran, but at least Kieran looks as if it would be pronounced correctly.
Lachlan	m	A lot of these names are too Irish to be used, but I still like them.
Mackenzie	m
Matthias	m	I prefer it to Matthew, but I probably won't use it.
Milo	m
Nathaniel	m	Don't really like Nate, but I like the similarities to Daniel. It'd have to be a middle name if I used it, though.
Nicholas	m	Another name I would avoid in December, but still love.
Noah 1	m	I didn't realize this was being used for girls, even scarcely. It's not one of my faves.
Nolan	m
Oisín	m	Same deal as Roisin, I don't think anyone could pronounce it right here.
Oliver	m	New nephew. It's a family name, so I expect it to crop up a lot.
Owen 2	m	Too much like Evan, Ethan, Ian?
Phelan	m
Rónán	m
Ryan	m	I like it for a BOY! Seriously, aren't there enough freaking girls' names? What's so frilly and feminine about LITTLE KING???
Samuel	m
Sean	m	I definitely prefer this spelling. I've noticed that the majority of my boy names end in N and are either Anglicized versions of Irish names, or the actual Irish names.
Sebastian	m	Little Mermaid aside, I like the impression this name gives - but I don't like Bastian. Yes, I'd rather have a son compared to a Jamaican crab than a whiny motherless kid from an 80's flick.
Simon 1	m	With so many celebrities, toys, and games featuring Simon, I guess it's just very familiar to me. I'm more likely to use Simon than Simone.
Tiernan	m
Tobin	m	Toby's an okay nickname, but I don't think it works as a full name, and I don't like Tobias, so Tobin it is.
Vincent	m	I don't like the nicknames Vince or Vinnie...
Xavier	m
Zachary	m
