Sean - without thinking of all the Seans/Shawns/Shauns that I know, I like this name well enough. It's a pleasant sound and I like it better than plain old
John. I prefer the Irish spelling btw -
Sean. It's more attractive than
Shawn or
Shaun and it's become such a common spelling that hardly anybody will ever mis-pronounce it, ever.
Sean Patrick? That's so stereotypically Irish I actually cringed, no offense. Both are great names but together, it's overdone. I know soooo many
Sean Patricks (all with Irish surnames that start with O', ironically, giving them all the same initials lol always found that funny).
Some ideas (sticking with the Irish theme, as it seems you like that):
Sean Angus (I actually like this one quite a lot, personally)
Sean ArdalSean BrennanSean CahalSean Calhoun (like this a lot too - Calhoun
Sean is even better!)
.... etc
