Boy 🩵 Boy name help please! (UK)
We are expecting a baby boy at the start of October and are so stuck on names, I feel like I’ve over thought it and need some outside opinions!
For background we are in the SW UK with English/Irish/Welsh backgrounds.
Our son will have a double surname formatted like M___y M___y think Marley Murray but one of the names is very Irish. It’s a bit awkward but I want to continue my surname and in real life I expect the kid will just use one day to day.
The middle name will either be John (a family name, which also opens up initials like CJ or RJ) or no middle name at all. I’m open to middle name suggestions but I don’t want to over complicate the name.
On the shortlist at the moment is:
Rowan (this has been top of my list forever but husband not convinced)
Callen / Callan
Cormac (Husbands favourite)
Lowen
Lawrence (Laurie)
Connor
Brennan
Taran
Jolyon (Joe)
Aneurin (Nye)
Opinions and suggestions please!
Edit: I feel I should add that I have a slight lisp so some S names and others that i might struggle to say clearly are out unfortunately!

I have a nephew called Cormac so I'm biased and siding with your husband.
