Irish girls names

[Cynthia32]

My sister is 25 weeks and we've been up chatting about girls names. Her DH is Irish and dsis is half Irish so they'd like to give their DC an Irish name. They already have a DS (Ciaran) so would like it to go with that. So far we have:

Orla
Sinead
Clodagh

What do you think and any other suggestions?

I love Clodagh!
What about Aoife?

Maeve
Niamh
Siobhan
Caitriona
Feena
Aileen
Eileen
Kathleen

My faces would be Clodagh or Maeve.

Faves not faces!

I'm part Irish myself and love the list so far as my name is on that list

How about

Caoimhe
Saoirse
Una
Siobhan
Niamh
Ciara
Roisin
Aisling
Sorcha
Alanna

I like Bridgit, Caoimhe (keeva), Grainne (graw-ne-ya), Mairead, Niamh, Orlagh,, Sorcha, Iseult.

Dearbhail
Aoibhinn
Aine

Sadhbh (my DD) and Maeve should this one be pink....

Aine or Aoife

Eithne

Siofra ( pronounced Sheefra)
Saoirse
Beibhinn
Coilin
Deirdre ( I like it although it's out of fashion atm)
Aisling
Doireann
Eibhlin
Grainne

Finoula

We're Irish. Dd goes to school with:

Caoilfhinn pronounced cay-linn

Rionach pronounced re-nah

And Shona

Love them.

I have an irish friend, her daughters are Aoife, Ciara and Aine (I'm sure there are some accents in there, but wouldn't know where"

Clodagh is the best out the three suggested.

Sinéad and Orla are too boring.

I really like Orla. I also love Maeve. Being not Irish I sometimes don't know how some of them are said. I don't really know how you'd say Clodagh? Is it Clod-a?

Clo-da

Clo rhymes with 'No'.

Some lovely suggestions here!! I'm going to read out some lists here to my sister later. Personally l love Sorcha and Saoirse out of all these! Don't think Dsis would want a Ciara as she has a Ciaran!

ena or ailbha (al-va?)

I would have loved a Saoirse but DH thought it was a bit too up the RA. I have a non boring Orlaith instead.

My niece is Saoirse, KenDodds. Most of my dsis's friends thought it was lovely and hippy-ish. The two blokes I worked for who were from the North of Ireland thought my dsis must be a Republican!

I really love it!

Niamh is gorgeous, as is Aine.

Cara - gorgeous and easy to spell/ pronounce

i love roisin cara and saoirse
