Two Questions.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I'm nowhere near being pregnant, but my current top favorite boy's name is Callum (KAL-um). I've got a few boy's names I like pretty well that I think go with it: Connor (although, I would probably avoid matching initials), Eamon(n) (AY-mon), and Graham. The only girl's name I can think of is Maeve. What do you think of these names with Callum? What other names do you think go with it?

Also, do you prefer Eamon or Eamonn?

Yay, I am a huge Callum fan. Most of my friends don't like it.. But my hubby and I are set on it.. So, screw them! Ha, ha. I love the name Maeve with it. :)

Yay! The world could use some more Callums. :)

Eamon. I love that name :)

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I'm beginning to think Eamon is the spelling I prefer.

My husband mentioned the name Callum as well. We want kids and are trying, but not there yet. I just told him I want to discuss name because our cat went unnamed for over a year, lol. I think husband likes Warren more though.

Also, I think Maeve is a nice name. Doesn't sound like one my husband would go for. I was kinda hooked on Fallon or Faylinn (Faelynn?) lately,

I think I like Eamon better.

This is random, but I saw it spelled "Phelan" today on a website, if you're interested!

I love, love Callum. Out of the other boys names, I like Graham the best, but Eamon probably goes better with it. Maeve sounds British to me, as does Callum, so they go in that manner.

I LOVE GRAHAM. Sorry, it's just a favorite of mine. It's adorable, I think, and so good at growing up with a kid. I like it a lot, and I think it would sound really good with Callum, or with Maeve. (Maeve is another amazing name. Fantastic.)

Other ideas:
Ruby
Hazel
Erin
Isla
Esme

Cameron?

Lots of Irish names :) They go so well together.
I LOVE all of these, except Graham. It's an old-man name to me. Eamon is the spelling I like best.

How about:
Fiona
Aoife
Ava
Ronan
Ciaran
Tara
Oren
Freya
Caitlin
Niamh

Those are all great together :) I love Eamonn ever since watching Ballykissangel...They have some great Irish names on that show.

Some girl names that go with your list:
Deirdre, Niamh, Kathleen, Molly, Aileen/Eileen, Moira, Bridget

I love the name Callum. I also like Conor and Graham (although I would never use Graham since that's my ex's last name). I like Maeve and am not a fan of Eamon, but would spell it that way.

You have a definite Irish tone to your style so I would say that if you want to look for new names you should start here: http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/iri.php

Some suggestions:
Aisling
Bridget
Fiona
Siobhan

Brennan
Kieran
Killian

I love the name Eamonn, but I've never met anyone who spells it with the single N at the end.
