Still strugglin with girls names.

One that wasnt immediantly dismissed and is now the first girls name we have actually considered serious, was Sinead.

We have a Nicole, Lauren and Serena. Someone on another thread pointed out that all have E and N in them. and they work well together. Does Sinead fit in there?

Sinead lovely by the way - makes me think of Sinead Cusack (married to Jeremy Irons).

  • just googled 'Issac' to see what came up and all I got was 'International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation'

Anyway, 'tis an awful name no matter how you spell it - don't use it at any cost !

googling names brings up some fascinating spellings of names.

I like Sinead!

roquefort · 06/05/2008 22:08

Agree with BBM - standard biblical spelling is Isaac

1dilemma · 06/05/2008 22:08

cross posted!
I'm guessing it can be Izaac too?

roquefort · 06/05/2008 22:08

Agree with BBM - standard biblical spelling is Isaac

1dilemma · 06/05/2008 22:08

spelling was never my strong point!

BigBadMouse · 06/05/2008 22:07

Um.....conventional spelling is Isaac if that is what you are after but I have seen a lot of variations - some are foreign spellings and some look pretty much made up to me

Boys name is nice too (are you spelling it Isaac or Issac? Are they said the same?) dn (nephew) is called Isac

If its a boy, he will be called Issac. But i think bernard will work for a nick name. dh kept saying he would call dd1 bernard as a joke if she was a boy, and now its a long running joke.

am hoping to find out at 20 week scan.

Is nice and goes nicely with the others as does Emma/Emily.I am however too chicken to try and spell it now it is no longer on my screen!
(Is the being reminded of his consultant a bad thing?)
Any advance on Bernard for a boy? will you be finding out? what about second names?

Pavlovthecat · 06/05/2008 21:47

Love it.

Blocky · 06/05/2008 21:46

If you love the name go for it, I don't think it matters too much about your heritage/ cultural background.
You might want to reflect that in the names you choose for your dc, or you may not give a flying fig and choose a name just because you like it.
I have Irish names for my dc's, but I am from an Irish background. However, my friend (Jamaican descent) called her dd Sinead, and it really suits her.

dd3 is serena dixie. i love the name dixie but we arent that brave to use it as a first name. i do regret not using it as her first name though.
