Which of these Irish names do you prefer for a baby boy?

I want to keep these a surprise from family members but would love an opinion! All are Irish names:





Malachy (pronounced Mal-a-kee) (first Irish saint)


Farraige (pronounced Farr-a-ga) (Irish word for ocean)


Aisake (pronounced Ash-a-ka)


Raffer (pronounced as it reads!)


Keelan (pronounced as it reads)





Would love to hear your thoughts!!

I like Malachy, Aisake, and Keelan. But Malachy the most.

Reply:I like Keelan. You may want to be careful about the first 3 because you don't want people mispronouncing his name.

he would get teased for the name Keelan, they would call him Keely or Keelyn.

Reply:Malachy


I also like Keegan
Reply:I love Keelan and Malachy. Malachy sounds powerful like a saint but Keelan is more manley
Reply:I only like Raffer and Keelan, but I prefer Raffer.





Malachy sounds too much and looks too much like 'Malarchy' slang for bull****, Farriage I'm afraid....just sounds awful, sorry, but no. Aisake is interesting, but sounds Japanese..





I quite like Cyllan....how do you spell it.....like that famous guys Cyllan Murphy. By the way, I hope you are in Ireland, because I think in Ireland these names would be celebrated and appreciated, and I think your son can be really proud of them. But I really think that if you arent in Ireland, or even in the UK, I think they'll make fun of him and that your son won't get the significance of his name, and may not like it so much.
