Niamh

Just found out I'm having a girl, I plan on using the name Niamh but when I was pregnant with my DS and people asked what name I would've used if he was a she and I told them 'Niamh' I was greeted with the usual "oh no" or the screwing up of faces which meant they thought it was crap .

Niamh is a gorgeous name I love it :)

I have a Niamh! Love it and hear nothing but positive comments about it. No problems with the spelling. Go for it and don't tell anyone the name until after the birth!

A boy called Niamh?

Niamh was a woman in an Irish legend - Niamh Cinn Oir - who came from Tir na nOg - the land of the young - where people never grew old. Nice name

I wasn't sure if it was a unisex irish name tbh. I guess not! Its a pretty name though I' m sure it will be character building for him.....

It's the Irish equivalent of 'A Boy Named Sue'

Lovely name. I definitely prefer the proper spelling too :)

Don't discuss names with others as people can be very picky and fussy about your choices. Just announce the baby after the birth.
