Oooh what's yours swan? I'm wondering if it's the same as mine!

I love my name! It's Irish too and flumoxes most english people when I meet them but I kinda like that too. Better than being another boring Claire or Catherine .

I don't mind my name but so many girls were called the same when i was at school. Also i am constantly telling people how to spell it.

No it isn't Noah

MY way is far superior

I like my name, I go by a shortened version but I prefer the long version.

I have an Irish name which I like when pronounced the Irish way. But a certain character on telly has the same name and it is pronounced in a really harsh way that I hate.

I like my name. It does have a lot of official ways to spell it and also some unofficial ways but my way is best .

Yes, I love it. In fact, at one stage all the names I like were similar to mine. The only problems are that it can't shortened and old German men always get it wrong (but that's not toooo much of a problem).

Yes. I like it very much. It is classy and glamorous (unlike me )
