DH aren't having a baby but we are TTC. Had a light chat about names and both love the boy's name Ira. Except I hate that it's spelt the same as the I.R.A. - are there other accepted spellings (if we ever have a boy, we wouldn't want to use a made up spelling). Thanks!

Dry! I spat out my coffee laughing at that! My DH is a lapsed Catholic (his parents are still very religious) and I was brought up Presbyterian so I can't begin to imagine what my MIL would say. Baby Boy Ian Paisley, perhaps?!

Could it be short for something?

Einar and Ara are boys' names, not exactly the same but with a similar sound.
