Looking for girls names, pretty, but not too dainty, can include Irish, but not too unusual, and preferably three syllabals as we have a short surname.
What do people think of these....
Juliet
Niamh
Genevieve
Imogen
Sophia
Madeleine
Orlaith
Any other suggestions?
(Only a few weeks into my pregnancy, so plenty of time to decide yet)

I think it's a bit too unusual - not sure people would know how to pronounce it...
