"Here’s a few we like: Cillian, Shane, Cullen, and Shaun (I only agreed to Shaun if we didn’t do the Irish spelling 'Sean').

They wrote: "Cullen is decent, not my cup of tea, but still a cute name. it reminds me of Twilight lol."

They suggested instead: Callum, Cormac, Fionn, Nevan, Kael, Declan, Cassian, Callan, Keegan and Sullivan."

Another wrote: "Cullen is a fine name. Not something I would choose but nothing wrong with it either. Callum and Malcolm are similar but Scottish, not Irish. Kieran would be a good Irish choice with the same vibes. Ronan and Brennan are some other ideas."

But some linked Cullen. One wrote: "I love Cullen! My oldest son's best friend is named Cullen."

Another wrote: "I absolutely love love love Shane from your list! Underused, easy to spell and pronounce, ages well from baby to adult, and just feels gentle yet strong and rugged at the same time. Similar to Sean/Shaun on your list but bypasses the spelling issues."
