Middle name for Sadhbh?

[dinosaurkisses]

We've picked the name Sadhbh for our baby girl due in October, and I'm drawing a blank for middle names to "go" with it. It's pronounced Sive, rhymes with 5.

DH is extremely unimaginative with names, but certainly knows what he doesn't like .

She'll have a Ní surname, so I'd like to avoid another Irish name. The only name I loved was Sadhbh Martha Ní, but DH (incorrectly) thinks Martha is an old ladies name so has vetoed.

I'd like something solid and classic, especially between her first and surnames which won't be easy for a lot of people to spell and pronounce.

I know 2 babies under a year in Ireland called Martha, it's very popular now. One of them has Jayne for a middle name after her grandmother.

Ní Shúilleabháin = Knee - who-lev-awn

(kinda!)

I have a Sadhbh too! Her full name is Sadhbh Julia

Sadhbh Julia is lovely

Most of my daughter's little friends in Montessori call her Sadhbhy :)

Sorry an ignorant Englisher here... how would you pronounce this name? Sorry if I've missed it!

Oh I know of a girl with the name but never knew the spelling. It's lovely.

To all those asking the pronunciation is in the op

I love Sadhbh Anne or Sadhbh Anna. 😍

Jane is what popped into my head straight away. It does just "go".

Please may I be a totally English ignoramus and ask how Sadhbh is pronounced please.

It's pronounced Sive, rhymes with 5.

It is hidden in the OP, but doesn't stand out because it's a digit.

Oh sorry I see it's in the op now

I think I panicked

Sadhbh Faye

I think I panicked

It's all those consonants. I was the same when I tried to learn Polish

I think it's beautiful (never heard of it before) but would go with a consonant starting middle name, or a two syllable name.

Otherwise ignorant tin eared buggers like me who are honestly unfamiliar with it might tend to elide it.

Eg Sadhbh Anne being heard as Siobhan?

It's a lovely name though.

Amazing! I find it really fascinating how languages are like this. The 'Sh' is pronounced 'who'? Wow. Thank you for answering my question.

I think a short saint's name would "go" - like Mary, Anne, Frances?

Actually think Sadhbh Frances is lovely.

Sadbha Grace

Sadhbh Roisin?

(Pronounced ROSH-een, for those unfamiliar! Or sometimes ROE-sheen).

Means "Little Rose".

^ Damn...ignore that suggestion, OP, I forgot you don't particularly want another Irish name.

I just adore the name Sadhbh.

Sadhbh Jane Is lovely.
