Suggestions please - Irish names!

[TheMadHatter74]

We already have a 2 DSs with distictly Irish names and are struggling to come up for ANY names for DC3. We are only 20 weeks so plenty of time yet but I want to be sorted when he or she arrives. So far we have a few ideas, none that we love though. Opinions on the following names and suggestions of similar names would be gratefully recieved.

Boys
Fergus
Brady
Cormac
Murphy
Seamus/Shat

Girls
Alannah
Niamh
Talulla

Like Shay and Ciaran for boys; and Niamh and Caitlin for girls.

All very sweet!

We do love Fionnuala, but might it be a bit too Irish if living in England?

No more or no less Irish than Niamh

Niamh is in the English top 100 though so would be more well known

Please spare your possible DS the 'hardcore Irish/' plastic paddy Murphy and Brady.

Cormac is lovely, and Fergus too.

I like Alannah and Niamh very much also. Mairead and Aoife are also very nice. I think Mairead is gaining in popularity as it doesn't make people think Maggie T but it's still a version of Margaret. It is also familiar as far as pronunciation goes because of the previous popularity of Sinead.

Grainger I have an inkling I may know you...?

Especially if your DCs are boys and you are a Harry Potter fan?!

Anyway, I shall ignore and not look at your history or anything, don't freak!

Thanks Laters for scaring the crap out of me and making me delete posts, lol. :)

My name is Fionnuala and I was born in England and lived there until I was 10, there were no problems in school etc with pronunciation, it was usually spelled wrong but that also happens now that I'm living in Ireland! I've always liked my name, it's unusual in Ireland too so its nice to have something a bit different. A lot of family and friends call me Finn, and my Dad calls me Finny as a pet name even though I'm pushing 30!

Other Irish names I like are

Daithi
Conall
Patrick

Sadhbh
Roise (row sha)
Blaithin

Hope you find something you like!

love roise :)

Tallulah ? Not an Irish name. Atallatall...........

Padraig is the irish version of Patrick.What about that.
