Liberty or Dearbhla?

[DearbhIa]

Really struggling to choose as equally love both! I am Irish and living in Ireland. Also wyoo Katie?

Many thanks

Dearbhla. Proper Irish name

Dear-what?

Deirdre is due a revival.

Dear-blah?

Liberty.

Dearbhla!

It's pronounced "Dervla", not Dear-Blah...

Dearbhla

Dearbhla. I'm guessing it's pronounced like Dervla Kirwan?

I love love love Dearbhla. Alas, I'm second generation, in the UK, otherwise I would have that name if dc3 turns out to be a girl. Lovely. No competition at all between it and Liberty.

I love Irish names, but never know how to pronounce them, some Scots name have me confused too.

I love Liberty, but it depends if you want a local name or not.

If you are in Ireland then Dearbhla, out of Ireland no..she will spend the rest of her life explaining.

I do like Liberty though.

Dearbhla

I'm English, living in England, and I know how to pronounce it.

Ah, like Dervla Murphy. But she spelt it exaclty like that.
Liberty is fine, too.

Is it pronounced dervla. Like in that drama with the priest?

Katie Liberty and Dearblah are really different. I would go for Dearblah of you have a connection to it

Dearbhla! Love it. (And Caoimhe. And Cliodhna.....even though you didn't ask for alternatives!! Sorry!!)

Dearbhla.
Katie is a bit meh.
Liberty is alright but Dearbhla is just nicer.

Dearbhla will be fine in Ireland as everyone will know how to say it.

I much prefer it to Liberty.

All are lovely.

Dearbhla, great name. I also considered Daireann for DC2, but he was a boy.

Dearbhla. 100%. And if you're in Ireland it's easy to use that spelling. Liberty sounds pretty ridiculous IMO.

Liberty

I love the name Dearbhla.

COME HERE NOW, LIBERTY...

Kind of looses its meaning.

Dearbhla

Liberty gets my vote. Nickname Libby?
