[Opinions] Brendan (m)
Brendan Lee, by far. Ryan is a surname, to me, and best left for the Ryan families to hand down. Besides, St. Brendan the Navigator is an awesome role model: http://www.castletown.com/brendan/htm Imagine reading him to sleep with tales of Brendan's voyages. The River Lee flows through County Cork, by the way. If you're Irish, it's a nice tribute (and a tributary*, too.)
* D'oh! That was bad. Sorry.

The link isn't working, but here's another way to find it. . . .The link isn't working! Argh. Well, it works if you click on http://www.castletown.com . Then, click on "Who Really Discovered America?" link and you'll find it. Sorry about that. I've double checked the address and it should have worked.Or you can just google "Brendan" and "Navigator" and lots of sites appear.

How about Rory, to (sort of) honor your mother's surname? Connor and Rory sound like a couple of heart-breakers to me. Very dashing.
