An Irish girls name to match Fíadh

user1480531309 · 08/12/2019 17:12

I’ve a little one named Fíadh and I had her name chosen so early on in my pregnancy. Now I’m ready to have her little sister and can’t decide on the perfect match. Any ideas? Must be Irish! Thanks!

Síomha (pronounced Sheeva or she ova)

I’ve always liked the name Líadan

Clodagh is gaining popularity round my way! 2 on my street this year

Dubheasa (pn duv-eesa)

Meadhbh/Méabh (or Maeve if you don't mind a controversial V) in the spelling is lovely.

Clodagh is also lovely and not all that common, I don't think. Even growing up in Ireland in the 80s and 90s I never knew that many of them.

It’s easy for non-Irish people when you explain “Sadhbh, like 5 but with an S!”

That reminds me Terrible, a few years ago a friend of mine called Niamh was being introduced to someone and he couldn’t get the hang of her name, so she said “it’s like Eve with an N” and he looked at her and said “Oh! Even!” GrinGrinGrin

Ailbhe I love this name but we're both English so looks odd if I ever used it

I have a Sadhbh- still love it and it really suits her.

I’ve never heard of Blathanna (flowers) as a name....Blaithin and Blathnaid yes.

Oh yes Realtin is one of my favourites.

I'm going to be really ignorant here, but how do you pronounce your daughters name?
