Three week old- no name - help!

Help choosing baby name please!

Baby girl. Now three weeks old... no name!

Dad is Welsh. Mum is Irish. We'd like something reflective of our heritage (so an Irish, Welsh or Celtic name) but not so much that the spelling is wild or that there is huge difficult to pronounce.

Any ideas?!

I have a friend with a little girl called Orla. Mum is Irish living in England.
The plus is, that unlike a lot of other Irish names, is that English people can say it and spell it.

Manon is one of my favourite girls names.
Aoife is lovely.
Seren too

Any taking your fancy so far?

Congratulations btw!

I named my daughter Amber after her beautiful Amber hair. Is there something you love about your daughter that you could link her name to?

We have an Eira, we are English with Welsh and Irish heritage. Maybe not the season for it tho (our Eira was born in Dec). Erin is also a good one as PP suggested. And I like Maura too. Congratulations! Please tell us what you decide 😊

Why haven't you thought something up in 9 months??

Why are you so judgemental. No one has to justify themselves to you. Don't want to answer the question? Don't click on the thread.

Another vote for Orla. I also went to school with multiple girls called Sinéad and I've always thought that was a lovely name too. On the Welsh side I know a small girl called Nerys which is very sweet.

Bronwen has always been top of my list but I could never persuade DH!

Caitlyn Megan was also a combo we considered.
