Help[Opinions] Taran
WDYTO Taran for a boy? I've been doing a bit of research if anyone's interested in that side of it ...
It was one of several names (namely Ternan, Taran, Torannan and Taranis) given to the Irish saint after whom the Hebridean island Taransay is named. His name is apparently related to the word for "thunder", in Gaelic or Old Norse. Very little is known about the (6th-century) saint, except that he was a Pictish bishop ... but he seems to have been a well-intentioned enough chap and his name was nice ;-) "His" island (Taransay being "Taran's island" in Old Norse) is absolutely beautiful in photographs, albeit near uninhabitable and very much out in the sticks. They filmed the BBC programme "Castaway" on it a couple of years ago, and I believe you can get there by boat, should anything possess you to do so lol.
So, now that that's cleared up, WDYTO Taran? These are the combos I've thought of so far, but new suggestions welcome!
Taran Gabriel
Taran Gabriel Skye (too island-y? Skye being after the slightly more civilised island, of course)
Cassidy Taran (Here, bear in mind that Cassidy hasn't become a fashionable girls' name, so that wouldn't be so much of a problem)
Taran Jonah Skye
Connell Taran
Taran Lughaidh (LOO-ee)
Taran Connell Rhett
Thanks in advance,
Elinor:-)
