Darragh?

[BarbieLovesKen]

Could I have your thoughts on this boys name please? (I dont like spelling Dáire).

Thank you

I think it looks a bit messy written down tbh, but sure it's a nice name :)

Oops sorry - I should of mentioned this is a well known Irish name (I havent just a made upish spelling or anything)

I like it- there is one in Ds's class (irish family)- he is 8. Am not sure if he spells it with one 'r' Daragh?

Hmm, like a lot of Irish names I think they sound much better with an Irish accent.

I have to admit, have never been sure whether it is pronounced with a long or short 'a'. Maybe the r/rr makes a difference to the name?

Its DAR - rah

I've just realised it means fertile

What everythingchangeseverything said.

What about Dara (as in Dara Ó Briain)?

There's a Darragh at school who gets Dara after Dara OBriain. I like it apart from the 'confusion'

I prefer it spelled Dara, but love the name.

I adore this name, and would have used it for DS1 except DH's cousin got there first

Dara or Daragh, not keen on the two rrs but love the name.

spelling makes it look like you are trying to cough something up.

I LOVE it! LOVE LOVE!

Love it - but like many Irish names your DS will be spelling it out for the rest of his life.

Thanks all.

CameronCook - we are Irish and are living in Ireland though.

Hi Barbie (waves) I knew this would be you! -- Yeah like this! I don't think its particularly difficult to spell/pronounce but there again I like Irish names! So is this on your shortlist?

i know a female Darragh and a male Dara.

i do like the name.

Lovely and getting more popular by the minute. I would spell it with one R, or simply Dara. I think it refers to the oak tree (an crann darach) with that spelling?

I love it.

Lovely name, but prefer Dara spelling.

Like Dara O'breen?

loathe him.

There is a Darragh in my son's nursery class and it was our choice if dd had been a girl :)
