What can we call Orlaith's sister?

DP likes a few names and I have no idea, we're just going round in circles.

He likes Anya, but I'm not sure, I suggested Aine but I don't know whether it's right either.
His other names are Mia/Mya/Maya, Ava, Eva. I think that's it.

We both like quite short 'pretty' or unusual names, but are open to suggestions.

Please help!

Hate Roisin & Grainne - bad memories of horrible girls at school!

BustleInYourHedgerow · 25/08/2012 23:39

Fiona, Roisin, Aoibhe, Eithne, Grainne?

CremeEggThief · 25/08/2012 23:27

Ailbhe?

onedev · 25/08/2012 23:25

Fionnuala, Aoife, Naiomh, Siobhan, Ciara, Maibh are my favourites, as are Sophie & Sarah

PenisVanLesbian · 25/08/2012 23:21

Sorcha is pronounced Soh-ru-cuh, thats correct.

However the mangled spelling of Fionnuala is entirely made up.

Sorcha (the only one I know pronounces it So-ru-cuh which I really like but have been told it actually wrong!)

Sian

Ffionhuala (again, the one I know spells it like this but I've been told that's wrong too!)

Aoife

Teehee, one of you have suggested my name so I'm going to give that a miss!

There are also lots of my family's names in there, I guess that's not surprisingly being from an Irish family.

I actually really like Lilia and Elfie.

My niece's middle name is Niamh and a friend's dd is Erin.
I'm finding a lot of names I like, and ones DP has suggested are names of friends or friends' children.
