river and sky. awful

Ragwort · 28/07/2011 17:20

No, but I knew an Ocean (spelt differently) and it caused constant sniggering and difficulties in pronounciation from everyone.

seeker · 28/07/2011 17:21

No. but I know horses, dogs, cats and a rabbit with all of those names except Farley. The Farley I know is a rusk.

nickelbabe · 28/07/2011 17:22

nickelbabe · 28/07/2011 17:23

Quenelle · 28/07/2011 17:24

I tik Lavender is a girls name and Febreeze could, at a pinch, be unisex

Yes, nickel - although the child/family were not Irish. I know I sound mean but no one could remember how to pronounce his name correctly and it got really embarrassing Blush.

nickelbabe · 28/07/2011 17:37

unusual irish names are tricky, aren't they.

i have a ds with a irish name and get fed up telling people how to say/spell it .So think carefully on names with differnt pronuciation

cloudydays · 28/07/2011 18:04

Angel is a pretty popular boys' name in Latino communities in the States. I knew a few Angels growing up, and I like the name.

Oisín is not "Ocean spelled differently"! It means "little deer" and is pronounced "Uh-SHEEN".

I can see how it could be misinterpreted as an attempt to spell "Ocean" yooneekly, but it is certainly not that, so any sniggering is grounded firmly in ignorance.

bagelmonkey · 28/07/2011 18:09

I know a girl called Eden and one called Bracken.

reikizen · 28/07/2011 18:11

I know a boy called Eden.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 28/07/2011 18:11

I know a couple of Oisíns if you're counting that but none of the others.

Marne · 28/07/2011 18:15

I know a Angel (he wasn't always Angel, he changed his name), i know a River but a girl.

lovecorrie · 28/07/2011 18:16

I knew a little girl called ocean..

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 28/07/2011 18:17

kampakat · 28/07/2011 18:18
