I prefer Niamh.

I think they are both lovely names! Orla probably a little less widely used if that's a consideration.

Orla Niamh Meta4 sounds great!

I know two Orlas and two Niamhs. A though my Israeli friend always laughed loads at Orla as a name think it may mean something rude in Hebrew.

Orla, other kids in her class will at least have half a chance of being able to spell it on a christmas card.

I say that as ds1 has an un-spellable name, we cope, he doesn't mind, but, I chose names that spell like they sound for ds2 and ds3 :)
