unusual pretty irish girl names

[mum4five]

hi im 38weeks pregnant an looking some unusual girls names

[looki]

Irish names are rarely what I would describe as 'pretty' though many of them have nice meanings e.g. Roisin means little rose etc. What kind of names do you like?

[BlossomTang]

Aine, Grainne, Atorn, Aisling, Eilish, Aruna, Sorcha I worked with a lot of Irish nurses in my time

[chicaguapa]

Aoife is soft sounding. No one will ever spell it right though!

[BippityBoppity]

Siobhan

[theyoniwayisnorthwards]

Where do you live? Are your family irish? I have an irish name and I like it but I am constantly spelling it down the phone

[Twasthecatthatdidit]

Siun
Realtin (little star)
Can't so the fadas in my phone, sorry!

[Woola]

Fionnuala (Nuala)

[MildDrPepperAddiction]

Fódla (Fo-la)

It's a very old Irish name, having a bit if a revival at the moment.

[StAlphonsosPancakeBreakfast]

I'm not familiar with Atorn (do you mean Etain?) or Aruna, I must say.

Sorcha, Caolfhionn, Naoise (boy or girl), Aoileann, Siún, Sinead all spring to mind.

[treaclesoda]

Maeve.

[tortoisesarefab]

I love mairead, maeve & Nuala

[treaclesoda]

Or actually, I suppose maybe I should have said Maebh.

Blaithnaid

Emer

[KanyesVest]

Cliodhna and Clodagh are two of my favourites. Both DD and I were going to be called Cliodhna, which is part of the reason I like it so much

[FlaviaAlbia]

Aine
Bronagh
Oona
Caoimhe

None of those would be unusual but I think they're pretty.

[Twasthecatthatdidit]

I think you're really going to have to tell us where you are - if you're in Ireland, some of the names being recommended are like coming in and recommending Karen, Susan etc

[YDdraigGoch]

My favourite Irish girl's name is Breige (or is it Briege??)

[FuzzyWizard]

Aoife
Nuala
Saoirse

[JoanHickson]

I like, Aruna,Aoife, Roisin and Clodagh.

[oneowlgirl]

Aoife, Nuala & Ciara are my favourites.

[squoosh]

I bet none of the people suggesting Nuala are Irish.

[squoosh]

My favourite Irish girl's name is Breige (or is it Briege??)

I think you mean Bríd which is pronounce breej.

[306235388]

Ailish and Mairead were my top two names with dc2

[looki]

Siobhan, Nuala, Oona (Una) - I haven't heard of babies being called these names for over three decades. I don't think its necessary to ask why.

[oneowlgirl]

I'm Irish Squoosh - why do you say that? I've loved that name since I was little & always swore if I had a girl, that would be her name (but only managed to produce boys )
