Yay BikeRunSki! I chose Ailsa for DC2, but ended up with a boy. Such a pretty name.

Sadhbh was also a top runner but friends had their DD a couple of months earlier and chose it.

Naoise is a boys name but I do know a girl with it. I think he was the hero in a tragic love story.

Muirreann (Mwirren)
Caoimhe (Kweeva)
Blaithín (Blah-heen) means flower

So many lovely girls names, boys on the other hand....DS was a week old before he was named!

[DessieLou]

Lots of great suggestions to mull over, thank you!

G'wan OP, you've got to use Ailsa since neither of us have been able to.
