We are having such a hard time with boys name (dont know the sex yet).
DH loves Darren, I do too but it is a love or hate kinda name  some people  when we tell them
We also like Donovan (Donnie)
Keenan (family surname)
Thoughts 
ETA: Our lastname is uber Irish.

Re: Boy name poll....
1 - love that your last name is uber irish! I knew I liked you!!
2 - I like Darren.
3 - I like Donovan, idk about donnie.. i just think of new kids on the block. I've only met one Donovan though and he was a bartender in jamaica... he was soo awesome. haha.
4 - I also like Keenan.
5 - I totally see your dilemma... bc I can't pick either!! Not even enough to vote on the poll!!!!
I keep repeating all the names to myself... and I THINK I MIGHT like the Donovan or Darren names better than Keenan.
I'm still chanting them though...
OK I think I'm going to go with Darren. haha. but they are all good names!! Not the run of the mill.. and that I love!!!
Don't worry about those who don't like the name. I get that too sometimes. it's inevitable.

First I love that you were thinking aloud throughout the post haha
Also I got the idea for Donovan from my SIL cousin and she is Jamaican haha--Donovan is a popular Jamaican name!'
It is so hard...girls names are so much easier, thanks for your input

I really like Darren. It's different but not too unusual. That would be my vote.

Kiera/Ciara is the female version of Kieran/Ciaran. Kieran has been around for years! I know many adult Ciarans. Here is the meaning from an Irish baby name site:
ciar "dark" and the diminutive -in it means "little dark one." Popular for over 1500 years, at least 26 saints have borne the name. The most notable, St. Ciaran of Clonmacnoise (c. 530 AD), was the son of a carpenter who studied with St. Enda for seven years and went on to establish a monastery at Clonmacnoise, on the banks of the River Shannon in County Westmeath.

Re: Boy name poll....
All great choices
DH actually wanted Darren but I didn't think that was going to sound good when my very Italian mom, grandmother aunts and uncles tried to pronounce it with their accents
I really like Donovan the most - although not sure if I like the Donnie nickname. Like a PP said I think of NKOTB.
Not sure why people would think Kieran is a girls name...I think boy right away when I hear it. I happen to love this name, I think handsome when I hear it.
My mom's very Irish next door neighbors have a son named Kieran and he is def a handsome little guy...black hair and blue blue eyes with freckles.

LOVE Donovan but not Donnie at all. Love Keenan too. I vote Donovan.
ditto, though I also love Kieran. I also think Donovan and Keenan or Kieran go better with your last name.

Love Donnie as a nn.
Go with what you and DH like. I had such a headache choosing names. Everyone had opinions and not even useful opinions.

Re: Boy name poll....
I like Darren a lot. I would have considered it but my DH is Aaron and that just sounded silly to me.
I also like Donovan, but not a fan of Donnie (I keep thinking Donnie Osmond)
