Dearbhla

Dearbhla. You are lucky you can use this because you are Irish!

Dearbhla by a mile. Smile

I love Liberty. I know a great family with Liberty, Henry and Sebastian. Lovely!
I wouldn't have known that Dearbhla was Dervla - but it sounds like lots of other people would. Slightly prefer Liberty though.

Not Katie. Don't really have a preference between the other 2 names

Libby as a nn is awful, so twee. Dearblah is lovely.

I love Liberty!

Dearblah is lovely.

That's how I feel about the name Dearbhla. It's a bit blah and a tad meh.

Liberty isn't a fantastic name but it's certainly no more ridiculous than Saoirse. And I like Libby.

COME HERE NOW, LIBERTY...
Kind of loses its meaning.

rofl.

OP made me rofl too. Look at her posting name and then try to guess which name she prefers.Wink

I love Liberty. I'd be worried about years of having to spell Dearbhla (and her being called Dear Blah at school)

DearbhIa · 01/02/2016 12:12

Many thanks everyone for your comments Flowers

I think I agree mostly about Dearbhla... Love Liberty to pieces also (although maybe I'll keep as guilty pleasure)!

As you are living in Ireland, Dearbhla.

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

They are both quite ugly in my opinion. Sorry Flowers
