Sheila/Shelagh?

Is this name too old fashioned? I’ve been rewatching Call the Midwife and it caught my attention.

I quite like it, and can’t see how it’s too different sound wise from the Lila/Mila names that are so popular at the moment.

Willing to be told it’s awful though!

Oh no sorry it's awful 🙈

There’s also Síle which has would probably be seen as less old fashioned

It is awful. However its also very chic and edgy now. Imagine a baby Shelagh. How cute would that be.
or Imaging her in a class full of Avas and Olivias. How much she would stand out. I'd go for it.
