Having baby today- no name if a girl

[Scarydinosaurs]

I have two DDs already, one flower name, one Irish name. Both have family names.

Names I like but can't use: Iris, Clover, Joni, Orla, Roisin, Ann/Annie, Nancy, Alannah, Cecilia, Ivy, Violet, Olivia, Ella, Rose...

I would like an Irish name (have Irish surname) but at this point we don't even have a short list of names.

Please help! I am a desperate non-sleeping pregnant lady.

Best wishes!

Probably stating the obvious, but Maeve?

Not a fan of Maeve- have a Mabel in the family...I can't see DH going for that, though I quite like it.

Thank you! I'm so excited to meet the new baby, but feel dreadful that if it is a girl she will be nameless!

Also- middle name must be Jane. Maeve Jane? Mabel Jane? Does it work?

Aine, Clodagh, Poppy, Katherine nn Katie, Lucy?

Also - today?? Eeek good luck!

Clodagh is a possibility. DH agreed to it, I like Clo...thank you for the suggestion- I'd forgotten this one.

Aine is lovely but too similar to my own name!

Grianne (Grawn Ya)
Aoife
Ava
Siobhan
Ciara
Niamh

Bree
Caitlin
Fiona
Aileen

Congratulations and good luck OP!

Madigan? It means little dog and is Irish in origin. It's jolly, familiar because of 'Maddie' and easy for the layman to pronounce. Sort of connects to nature like your flower named dd. Did I mention it's cuuuuute :)

Madigan Jane!

I don't know if I could call a daughter little dog though I will concede, it is super cute.

aww you mean Grainne right? All those poor Grainnes out there who never have their names spelt correctly 😆.

I love your list- Aoife is a possibility. It's a very pretty name and hasn't been used by my (extensive) Irish family in recent years...

When DH eventually awakes I will ask him.

Thanks so much! I feel like Clodagh, Mabel or Aoife could be 'the ones'. Aoife Jane I think is particularly nice.

When my English friend had her baby girl, I phoned to speak to he and her rather elderly Irish father in law answered the phone. I asked what they'd called the baby and he said, I can't remember, but I know it wasn't a proper name like Kathleen or Maureen ... So I'm guessing they're both old Irish names? I think Kathleen is nice.

She called her little girl Niamh by the way

Siofra (Sheef-ra), Bronagh, Kate, Erin, Maria, Caoimhe,

I love Una. If DS had been a girl that would have been his name.
Good Luck with birth and baby, hope all goes well

Aoife Jane sounds lovely!

I've always liked Niamh. I also feel it's a name that travels well. It's one that wouldn't get butchered here in Australia, for example, as it's widely enough used. It's very pretty, and sounds almost fairylike. I get the same vibe from Freya, FWIW.

Oh, and good luck and congrats!

Good luck op!

How about Ailis / Ailish?

Not sure if Irish names, but if you want another flower name

Flora
Delphine
Fleur
Linnea
Lilian
Hazel
Ferne
Olive

Of the 3, I vote Aoife.

Also like Saoirse, Aisling, and Eilis.

Best of luck, OP!

Saoirse, Ailis, Shannon, Cara or Ciara, Sorcha - I've known a Shannon. Also Tara I love as a name!

I also really like Mabel Jane though.

Ava
Ellen
