Doesn't Daniel Day Lewis have a son called that?

EyeballsintheSky · 20/04/2008 12:27

Hmm, never heard of Cashel. Sure you're not thinking of Cathal?

3andnomore · 20/04/2008 12:25

I know a gorgeous little Babyboy who is called Cash....and whilst Cash is not my personal taste....it suits the little guy!

Cashel....hm...not sure about that one.....

Cashel is a town in Co Tipperary, where my ma & pa did their courting.

Sounds like Casual. Sorry, I don't like it.

Thanks Dizzy. I saw it. Very cool website. I think Tadhg has moved to first place for me.

Was thinking that if we were to stay here it might not work that well but at home, Cashel would just be kind of cool and no one would really make the immediate connection to the Rock of Cashel...which is quite beautiful. Flynn is good too but know someone now, a girl, named fin and kind of changed those names for me.
Will look for that website too dizzy. Thanks!

I also love Oran but might to too similar to rowan

as is roan, which was our choice for dd2 had she been blue

friends just had a wee boy called Darragh which I think is lovely too - means fruitful/fertile

good luck

Yes, Cashel is a place - quite a nice castle there as I remember it.

It's likely to be shortened to Cash, but that's quite American, isn't it?

I think as long as it goes with your SUrname, then it sounds fine... I like it, TBH....

dizzydixies · 20/04/2008 09:22

I was always told it was pn more like tag as opposed to tig

there is an irish babyname web site that speak them to you

will try to find it

dizzydixies · 20/04/2008 09:21

fionn is lovely too and can be pn just finn

Cashel is a place name not a person's name (imo)

Mills & Boon publish soppy romantic novels
