DC3 is 6 weeks old, so obv no idea what sex it will be. Of course, I have a shortlist fo names already, so can you tell me what you think? (I'm Irish BTW, hence the slight Irish slant with the names). Any pitfalls I am missing, other than the wierd Irish spelling?

Boy:

Hugh
Rory
Oisin
Lorcan
Pierce

Girls:
Faith
Sive (pronounced Sigh-ve)
Avril
Albha (pronounced Alva)
Faye
Hero (my secret love..)

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Love Hugh, Lorcan and Rory

Love Faye, Avril and also Albha (had never heard of that name before, but it's lovely)

Rory, Albha or Faith.
Please not pierce...or Hero

Like Hugh and Faye

If you have to put how a name is pronounced in brackets after perhaps this is not a good name for a child? Will they have a lifetime of mispronunciation and spelling?

I like Rory (even though you should be ashamed of yourself for spelling it the English way
Oisin is good too.
Hugh is nice aswell.

Faith, Avril and Faye are nice. The others, I am not so keen on. Please do not call your child Hero though...

I had never heard of Lorcan or Sive but still find them nice.

I do not like Hero very much but it could grow on me.

Over all, a very nice shortlist!

Of the boys, I prefer Rory or Pierce. Lorcan makes me think of Orca (killer whale?).

Of the girls, I like them all except Hero. Hero is NOT a girl's name. If it was, wouldn't it be Hera? You can't call a child Hero. Albha is my favourite.
