Having baby today- no name if a girl

I have two DDs already, one flower name, one Irish name. Both have family names.

Names I like but can't use: Iris, Clover, Joni, Orla, Roisin, Ann/Annie, Nancy, Alannah, Cecilia, Ivy, Violet, Olivia, Ella, Rose...

I would like an Irish name (have Irish surname) but at this point we don't even have a short list of names.

Please help! I am a desperate non-sleeping pregnant lady.

Lovely name, congratulations on your new arrival. Irish fadas go in the opposite direction to the one in your post, I know keyboards can be fiddly but just wanted to let you know before you register the name.

Congratulations! SmileFlowers

Really lovely that you've come back to tell us the name you've chosen.

Congratulations OP.
Are you in the UK?

Raines, Nainsì is just the Irish spelling of Nancy, the fader on I changes the pronounciation. Someone less Post baby labour brained will come along and explain properly I'm sure.

We have a little girl! So a Nainsì Jane. Thanks so so so much for all your help! You helped me realise how. Much I loved Nainsì and made me feel better about sticking to a traditional name.

Wonderful mumsnetters! It's been a hard few days with induction pushed back and back...but baby here now and all in wonderful.

Have you had your baby.

Raines100 · 09/02/2017 21:18

Well, if Aine is awn-ya and bean sí is banshee, I'm going to guess Nainsí is Nawn-shee.

Looking forward to your news, OP!

Brolis · 09/02/2017 20:23

All of your names sound lovely. I will be no help with a name. I just wanted to say Good luck. Please let us know when baby arrives safely. Hurray for brilliant new babies.
