Not getting anywhere with names! Any help woud be much appreciated
Here are some we like, but none are "the one". Can you think of any along these lines? (DD will have Welsh, Scottish, English, Irish & Estonian heritage. Doesn't necessarily have to be any of these though!)
Eira Sioned Arianwen Mhari Mari Marianne Roisin Sian Cerys Carys Ceridwen Etta Esme
For DS I read 8 baby names books before finding "the one". His name is Scottish and fairly unusual in the UK, although the Irish version is pretty well known in Ireland.
Just done one book so far this time! Can you save me from having to read the other 7?!
I know a Scottish lady called Triona (pronounced tree owner). Other suggestions... Isla Eilidh (pronounced Hailey without the h) Catriona Brea/bria (can't remember gaelic spelling, it involves GH somewhere!) Bethan Keeva (again can't remember correct spelling! Someone will correct me I'm sure but it starts Caom... :-S )
I absolutely love Nia. Only problem is DS's name is her lover in the legends! (The Scottish version of the name). It'd be like calling your DCs Romeo and Juliet so I think that's out
Aoife \ao(i)-fe\ as a girl's name is pronounced EE-fya. It is of Scottish, Irish and Gaelic origin, and the meaning of Aoife is "beautiful, radiant". From "aoibh" meaning beauty. The name has also been associated with Esuvia, a Gaulish goddess, and was borne by several heroines in ancient Irish legend. Eva is the anglicized form.
