Irish names?
6

Looking for some nice irish or other names that would go well with the last name McMillan. Nothing too off the wall that I would have to pronounce or constantly spell out for others...boy MN would likely be Joseph (DH's name) or Ross (my maiden name).

So far the only ones I have thought of are --

Aidan
Colin
Connor
Kieran
Tiernan
Kaelin
Kiera
Carys
Cian
Declan
Gavin
Grady
Keenan
Liam
Quinn
Reilly
Ronan
Rowan
Seamus
Wyatt
Mason
Caleb
Nolan

The first three are way too popular (although I love them, would never use them). Any suggestions (for B/G) would be appreciated. I am having trouble coming up with girl names that I like that go with our last name. Just to give you an idea, some girl names I like are Charlotte, Camille, Mia, Reese, Emery, Avery, Amelia, Paige. Would love your input!

Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for the suggestions...how do you pronounce the first suggestion, Maeve?

Is it MAVE or MAUVE...?
