I have a lot of trouble finding boy names that I like. I like names like Tierney, Blaise, Alexander, James and Kieren.
Any suggestions for other names I might like?

Who's Laura Wattenberg? I like Brennan, thankyou. :)
Maybe it's just my accent, but Kieran is prn Keer-en where I live, so I prefer the e spelling, plus I think it looks nicer and it's spelt Kieren in my baby name book, so I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.

Laura Wattenberg wrote The Baby Name Wizard. It's one of the best baby name books out there, in my opinion; she gives popularity stats and suggests "sibling names," which she thinks you might like if you like a certain name. Really helpful, quite comprehensive.

Ciaran is historically spelt as such, and Kieran is an Anglicization.

That's fair enough, but Kieren is still a legit spelling.

Thanks for the info! It sounds like a great book.
