Evan or Declan

It's a continuous battle to pick a name, and I still need help! Which of the following do you like best: Conall, Declan, Evan, or Devin. Thanks for the input!!!

I like Declan and Conall the best. I still think you should consider my previous idea about combining the 2 names and use Conlan, lol. I'm not fond of Evan or Devin, I think they sound feminine, IMO. What about Nevan, Trevin, or Drevan?

Conall is fine, but I definitely like Evan or Declan better (and since that's the title of the post I'm guessing you might as well LOL).
I don't like Devin (especially this spelling) for a boy at all. It always seemed too feminine for me (although I do think the similar name Devon is more unisex). Plus, with a little Devanie in the house now I can only see girl when I see a variation of Devan/Devin, since they're so similar LOL. ;)
I actually like Evan and Declan almost equally, but I'd be prone to pick Declan simply because it's much less common (I think Evan has become even more popular lately along with similar names like Ethan and Owen, KWIM?). Declan is a great name overall, though, without the popularity issues, so I'd go with that! :) Good luck choosing!

The only one I really don't like is Conall. Evan and Declan are 2 favorites of mine, so I'd have to choose between them, and I think Declan would be my choice!

Declan is my favorite with Connal a close second. I'm not a huge fan of Devin, but I really like Evan, I just worry that it's becoming very popular. Like Kelli, I think it's part of the Evan/Ethan/Owen grouping of names that is becoming quite popular. Also, given the attention surrounding Evan Lysacek's stunning and emotional performance at the Olympics, we may see another surge in popularity.
I think both Declan and Connal are fantastic names. Both are recognizable but neither is popular. I love them both and if my children were going to have a last name that didn't sound ridiculous with an Irish first name, they would both me on my list.
