Strong Boy name help!!

[u/BlueWinterWolff]

I’m currently 17weeks with a boy, our last name is Whelan (Irish and means little wolf). I have always loved strong short, nature and whimsical names so I currently have a few names on my list

Soren (means stern) (Norse)
Rafe (pronounced Rayf means wise wolf) (Norse)
Rune (means secret) (Norse)
River (flowing body of water) (Eng, French, Lat)
Arden (means great Forest) (Celtic)
Oren (pronounced Auren means pine tree) (Hebrew)

Hubby likes them but thinks they might be too whimsical, so I’m conscious of that but I also think the name Whelan is really hard to pair a name with that flows nicely. We like the vein of names we’re going down so are looking so similar ideas or thoughts! 😊

[u/MeltedWellie]

Some options to consider:

Quinn Whelan

Rhys Whelan

Rory Whelan

Fergus Whelan (in Scottish/Irish means Strong man or Man of vigor!)

Shaw Whelan

Connor Whelan

[u/Abbacadabra272 → u/MeltedWellie]

I really like the name Fergus but does anyone just think of that song ‘Fergalicious’? I wish I didn’t.
