unusual pretty irish girl names

[mum4five]

hi im 38weeks pregnant an looking some unusual girls names

Irish names are rarely what I would describe as 'pretty' though many of them have nice meanings e.g. Roisin means little rose etc. What kind of names do you like?

Aine, Grainne, Atorn, Aisling, Eilish, Aruna, Sorcha I worked with a lot of Irish nurses in my time

Aoife is soft sounding. No one will ever spell it right though!

Siobhan

Where do you live? Are your family irish? I have an irish name and I like it but I am constantly spelling it down the phone

Siun
Realtin (little star)
Can't so the fadas in my phone, sorry!

Fionnuala (Nuala)

Fódla (Fo-la)

It's a very old Irish name, having a bit if a revival at the moment.

I'm not familiar with Atorn (do you mean Etain?) or Aruna, I must say.

Sorcha, Caolfhionn, Naoise (boy or girl), Aoileann, Siún, Sinead all spring to mind.

Maeve.

I love mairead, maeve & Nuala

Or actually, I suppose maybe I should have said Maebh.

Blaithnaid

Emer

Cliodhna and Clodagh are two of my favourites. Both DD and I were going to be called Cliodhna, which is part of the reason I like it so much

Aine
Bronagh
Oona
Caoimhe

None of those would be unusual but I think they're pretty.

I think you're really going to have to tell us where you are - if you're in Ireland, some of the names being recommended are like coming in and recommending Karen, Susan etc

My favourite Irish girl's name is Breige (or is it Briege??)

Aoife
Nuala
Saoirse

I like, Aruna,Aoife, Roisin and Clodagh.

Aoife, Nuala & Ciara are my favourites.

I bet none of the people suggesting Nuala are Irish.

My favourite Irish girl's name is Breige (or is it Briege??)

I think you mean Bríd which is pronounce breej.

Ailish and Mairead were my top two names with dc2

Siobhan, Nuala, Oona (Una) - I haven't heard of babies being called these names for over three decades. I don't think its necessary to ask why.

I'm Irish Squoosh - why do you say that? I've loved that name since I was little & always swore if I had a girl, that would be her name (but only managed to produce boys )
