I'm desperate at picking names! Can someone please help me with original, not really popular Irish names! We don't know the gender, but I'm struggling more with girls names 🙈🙈

Do you want the Irish spelling or just the Irish pronunciation?

Girls -
Ailbhe (Al -va) or (Ale-va)
Riona - (Rhee-Ona)
Bebinn - (Bay-vin)
Fallon (Irish Surname but personally love as a first)

Boys -
Daly (or Dalaigh)
Ruairí (I know this is a little more popular)
Rafferty - my personal fave

What about Siun (shoon)

Realtin (rail teen) means little star

Aoine (ee na) means Friday

Are you Irish?

@3luckystars

Do you like Saoirse? Pronounced Seer-sha Do you like Siofra? Pronounced Shee - fra What about Maeve? Or Aoibh (Eve)
I have Meabh on my list of girls names actually. Saoirse wouldn't go so well with my surname 😂 any time I Google names I'm coming across all the same ones that are pretty common 🙈
