We have two girls Aoife-Rose and Niamh. We would love something similar like Orla, Isla, Ciara or Maeve if anybody can suggest something easy to pronounce as we are Irish family but kids are schooling in the UK.

Aoife and Niamh are lovely. Ciara goes well.

Personally I think Niamh and Maeve are a bit similar, being two 1 syllable names ending in a hard v sound.

@CamdenQueen there's a Clodagh who does recipes on This Morning and I swear they call her "Clo-dag" 🤣

How do you pronounce that, for the stupid English woman?

Show quote history

Pronounced clo-da. The ‘gh’ is silent

What about Sinead, Seana (although this could be a challenge as it’s “Shannah” and UK people might say Shauna or Seena) Maíre (could be Maura or Mayuh depending on the part of Ireland!).

You have lots of good options.

SkaneTos · 08/02/2024 21:44

I don't know much about Irish names, but I wanted to say that your daughters' names are beautiful! I hope you will find a name that is just as beautiful for your third daughter.

MaloneMeadow · 08/02/2024 20:58

I absolutely adore Maeve - if I had another DD I’d use it in a heartbeat! Fiadh is gorgeous as well

Sundaysunshine21 · 08/02/2024 20:09

What about

Eithne
Eimear
Fiadh
Erin

I’ve always liked Ciara and Cara too as others have suggested.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 08/02/2024 20:00

Aoife-Rose, Niamh and Ciara, Leela. Maria.

FlatWhite2 · 08/02/2024 18:34

What about Cara? Three girls is such a dream, so blessed!

also love Cadhla (pronounced Calla) but might be too hard to pronounce outside Ireland

CoffeeBeansGalore · 08/02/2024 18:24

I knew a lovely little Ciara.

Alannah
Catriona

I love the name Sorcha - I know a girl called this and have always thought it’s a beautiful name, and easy to pronounce/ spell too.
