irish baby girl names

[DeborahRoss26]

Hi ladies :) im expecting a baby girl at beginning of september. And im thinking of using either Aoife.. Caoimhe.. Saoirse, 1 of those 3. I love irish names my middle names Siobhan. What do you think if those 3 names? And any suggestions?

Roisin
Aine
Ethna
are top 3 for me

I like Aoife.

I also like Sorcha, just remember to pronounce it properly ;)

It's more like Angyal though?

(With a hard G) -- 'Ang' as in hang and then '-gyal'

Cornelia, Mairead and Briege are quite rare Irish names that are very ethereal but strong.

I don't think there is anything Irish about Cornelia? Muireann is lovely too and I would spell Ethna Eithne

Lots of Corneliuses though, with nn Conn.

Brid (fada on the I) is the Irish spelling for Briege (pronunciation is quite similar). The older spelling is Brighid/Brigid (anglicised as Bridget) -- Brid is the modern Irish (20th C) equivalent. It would be considered similar to Gladys in Ireland. I really wanted to call DD3 Brigid and use the nn Biddy but chickened out.
