    Default WDYT Irish names for a girl

    Hi,

    My baby girl is due in November and I would like to give her an Irish name. I would appreciate any comments, opinions or suggestions on the following:-

    Niamh (or should I spell it Neave?)
    Orla
    Eilis (pronounced Eye-lish or Aylish)
    Talulla
    Aisling (pronounced Ashling)
    Sorcha (pronounced Sorka)
    Bridget
    Maeve

    I was thinking of Ellie, Molly or Marie for a middle name.

    Thanks in advance for your help
    Audrey

    Red face Consider keeping it phonetic

    Hi
    I also love Irish names, DD1 is Catlin (irish gaelic form of the scots gaelic Caitlin). While we *should * really pronounce it cat-LEEN, we thought it best to say it as you spell it (so she's CAT-lin). Even so, we still have people confuse it with Caitlin (which is pretty understandable).

    So if it is going to drive you nuts when / if people mispronouce her name, perhaps select one that looks that same as it should sound.

    ps. I do like ALL your names , but is Niamh becoming too popular now?

    Cheers

    I really like Bridget and agree with the above comment. It might be hard on your little girl if she is always saying and spelling her name correctly for people.

    Hi

    I quite like your names... I like Niamh, but perhaps would spell it Neave (?)...

    How about Tierney? I'm pretty sure that's Irish...

    Cheers!
