Irish and Chinese baby names x

Question

Hi I am Lian-Li, I am 25 and full chinese. Me and my partner Conor (full Irish) are expecting our 3rd child together at the end of december. So far we have two young daughters. Cai (chinese meaning of full of colour) Líle (the irish form of Lily) and Jia-Li (pronounced Jah lee chinese meaning of good and beautiful) Siobhan (Irish of Jeanne). So as you have probably gathered we are trying to keep as much of both of our cultures as we can with our daughters. So back to baby number 3 its a boy and Conor is quite excited as he feels very left out. So here are our suggestions let us know what you think please we have also decided to put the Irish name 1st this time.

(Ryan is our surname)

1. Aidan Dai Ryan

2. Brennan Lan Ryan

3. Derry Ju Ryan

4. Declan Jai Ryan

Let us know which one you think is the best.

Thanks and all the best

Lian-Li and Conor

Answer 1

we are also a full chinese and full irish couple, having our first boy... our top pick is also Aiden but just stumbled across Ailin and we are really loving the sound of that. Although we worry about it being tough to spell and pronounce for others, and also of the boy being teased about it sounding like girls names 'Ellen' or 'Aileen'.
