We both like oisin but i keep hearing your one Nicola from Fair City in my head calling it.

We had Donnacha for last pregnancy and then both fell in love with Darragh.

I love Davin but dh is not mad on it. He loves Irish names and thinks it sounds welsh?

Which do you like? I put a poll but not sure if its working.

I prefer Davin. I know someone with a child called this and always like it. Unusual.
I always think about the future when a child is older if travelling..Donnacha would be a hard one to pronounce....But thats just me!

I adore the name Oisin! The only reason my ds was not called that is because we will potentially move to Australia before he hits his teens and I did not want him with a name he constantly had to spell out to people. If we were planning on staying here he would have been Oisin!

Like all three :D

Donnacha is leading the pack at the moment so picked that, but close call between Davin and Oisín

Oisin was the name I had for our first but now we have an Aoife, Donnacha was for my last who is now a Bebhinn. I have Davin in my shortlust for if we ever try again!

Donnacha would be my personal favourite!

Can't stand Oisin, Donncha is better and Davin sounds like it should be Gavin.

Oisin is gorgeous.

Never watch Fairly Shitty so wouldn't have the association.

Oisin is. Ice
Davin is alright but I reckon you'd get Gavin lots.
Don't like Donncha at all

I love all 3 but Oisín is my favourite (DS's name :inlove: ) I would choose Davin next, then Donncha.
