Due baby number 2 in April, don't know gender. If DS was a girl then I would have definitely used Eliza, but I've noticed it creeping up in popularity which is beginning so put me off. But I have loved the name forever.
So wondering what other people opinions are..
Eliza or Saoirse?

This is the thing that makes me not 100% on Saoirse! Though I live in Scotland which I think is more familiar with Irish names than other areas of uk

I know a Saoirse - she gets called by an amazing variety of names, as no one knows how to pronounce it. (This is in England)
