Irish Boy Names

Irish boy names have quietly conquered the UK charts — Finn, Rory and Ronan sit happily in English playgrounds while staying unmistakably Irish. This list runs from those familiar favourites to names you’ll rarely hear outside Ireland, like Lorcan (“little fierce one”), Cathal (“battle rule”) and Senan (“old and wise”). Each comes with its meaning and the vibe it carries — myth, weather and a little mischief included.
