A reader named Antoinette is expecting her second baby in November, and she’d like some help coming up with names (both male and female).
The names should:
- Work with the surname O’Reilly, and
- Be relatively short. (Case in point: Antoinette’s son’s full first name is Zach.)
On Antoinette’s short list right now are the names Harry and Charlie for a boy, and Zoe and Stella for a girl. She also mentions that, while her family is Irish, she and her husband “don’t really like the traditional Irish names.”
Here are some ideas I came up with:
Male | Female |
Adam Alex Alfie Andy Archie Blake Carl Eric Evan Graham Henry Hugh Isaac Jake James Lane Luke Mark Matt Max Noah Simon Toby Will | Ava Belle Chloe Daisy Eva Gemma Grace Hazel Leah Greta Helen Iris Ivy Jane Josie Kate Katie Lucy Maya Nina Nora Sadie Sara Tess |
Do you like any of the above with O’Reilly? What other names would you suggest?
