Orla
Tara
Clodagh
Alannah
Cara
Una

I want a nod to Irish heritage without having something difficult to spell or pronounce for people in the UK - voice of experience!

Thoughts on the above, or any other suggestions that fit the bill?

I love Cara, Tara and Orla.

How about Ailish with an h at the end? Or Sorcha? I think they're pretty easy. I also know a good few Aoifes in England now. I think lots of people would recognise it.

The nicest on your list is Cara

Una would get pronounced Yoona in the UK, rather than Oona.

Clodagh is a lovely name, but could have pronunciation issues too.

The rest of the list is fine.

I love them all so not helpful.

But I'd say Clodagh probably would have spelling issues out of them all.

Ita is lovely. Or Ciara, Eimear/Emer?
