Id bubs is another girl, she will be Sinead, which is apparently the irish version of janet, which is dh mums name.

so i was thinking of a variation of Marie (my mums middle name, she doesnt like her first name Virginia) as babys middle name.

Mariela, Marijke, Miriam, or.... my favourite, Marianne.

Sinéad Marianne would be nice.

What about Mairéad? what does that mean? What's it Irish for? Mary by any chance!?

Mharie gaelic version - is pronounced Varie - which I think is lovely!

Marie-Claire is my little cousin

Like Marianne too.

Marita - I think it's Spanish for little Maria.

TheSmallClanger · 19/06/2008 17:07

I know a Mhairi who pronounces it Marry.
Both Mhairi and Mary go very well with Sinead.

boredwithworknow · 19/06/2008 17:01

Maire is pronounced Moyra.

Mhairi (Scots Gaelic) is Varry, which I love, but may be hard to get people to pronounce properly?

bozza · 19/06/2008 16:57

But obviously I approved of Mary at one point.

bozza · 19/06/2008 16:57

Well califrau can I just disagree with you on that one based on the evidence of my DD's behaviour today. Still it is not really her fault that we are stuck in the house as she and DS were sick on Tues (48 hour rule) and I am genuinely recovering from some unpleasant virus while they are boucing off the walls.

SoMuchToBits · 19/06/2008 16:53

The Irish form Maire would go well with Sinead, but I'm not sure how you pronounce it, you'd have to ask someone irish.

I like Mary - especially for a middle name.

I love Marianne.

MaryAnnSingleton · 19/06/2008 16:28

dizzydixies · 19/06/2008 16:26
