We won't know the sex for about 1 1/2 months but we still like to think about the names so that when we do find out we have a list to narrow down from. We've pretty much settled on a boys name which will be Xander Colin but we're having a hard time with girls names.

What do you think of the name Keelin/Keelyn?

Would probably pair it with a soft middle name (e.g Sophie, Isabelle etc.) just not sure what yet.

We want unique but not so out there that no one knows what your saying or how to spell it. Also, we like names that are Irish/Celtic/Gaelic in origin as that is our family background. Any thougts or suggestions??

Thanks

I love it! I knew a girl in college and her name was Keelin.
It is different to where you dont hear it much but not so out there that people give you that "huh?" face when you say your childs name.
As for names with a Irish/Celtic/Gaelic backrounds, here are a few of my faves:

Pronoucable:

Alanah(prefer Alannah)
Briah(bree-ah)
Carrigan
Cordelia
Darcy
Fallon
Fiona
Kate

Hard to pronounce:

Siobhan(Sha-Vahn)
Niamh (Neev)
Sinead (sha-nade)

hope i helped,
Sara

I'm not a fan of the name Keelin but it would be pretty as a middle name. Isabella Keelin, Sophia Keelin, etc...
You could give her a more uncommon first name with Keelin as the middle as well.

its cute
Keely
Kylie
Kaylie
Kayla
Rylan
Ariana
Arianna
Alyssa
Keira
Jacalynn
Kaya
Kayalynn
Gwendolyn
Cassandra
Alexia
Rylan

I like Alannah and Briah...I also like Aishling but already know hubby doesn't like that one.

hmm... Keelyn Alannah
Keelyn Briah
