NN Bea?

Do the irish say wean as well? Saw my dad today he said wheres the weans the weans are 24 and 19

Jesus christ... wheezes

they're the big weans!

We definitely say it here in my part of NI. Not sure about the rest of Ireland.

Only in NI

I meant 'wean' in the sense of child, because I've read it lots of times but I assumed it was pronounced like 'weaning' - I guess I thought it was from the same route - a child who'd been weaned or whatever.

Beagle

I thought it was er not good when i was assuming it was a girls name.

You can't call a boy Bea. It's awful. Really really terrible.

As a person with a non-Irish accent, my initial thoughts were like fortifiedwith teas.

You BEGAN this thread, Op.

But I also think that not everyone likes the same name so if you like it, use it.

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

How are you pronouncing it, OP?

It would be 'bay' rather than 'bee'

It was a vaguely common Irish name...back in the 14th century

Not my particular taste, though.

Sounds like a Jamaican saying bacon.
