Really really dislike the name Saoirse. It's the name of a republican local newspaper in Belfast. What about Síofra? not crazy about that for different reasons mind you.

I like Roisín. Aoife is just too popular. It has been popular for a long time an is a very safe, classic choice because of Aoife from the Legend but I am bored with Aoife. It's like Kate I guess it just never goes away.

Caoimhe is ok. It is a pretty sound but everybody would struggle with spelling.

My favourite Irish girls names are Maeve, Orla, Clodagh.

As your middle name is Siobhan, what about Siún for your baby?

Love these names. Also Orla and Emer are lovely.

My dd2 is Róisín. I tend to call her Rosie.

I'd have loved to have used Dervla but DH wasn't keen.

I adore the name Saoirse. I know in NI it's pronounced Seersha, and in ROI Sersha, either way is lovely.

Caoimhe is pronounced Kee-va? That's very pretty too. Aoife (Ee-fa?) is becoming more well-known, I think one of the Saturdays used that name. They're all nice. Maybe wait till she comes along and see which fits her best?
