I like Olivia best. I know it's popular, but I guess that's for a reason!

Penelope and Maebh are my stand-out favourites.

Annabel, Olivia and Lily are OK, but not brilliant. Gracie and Rosie are cutesy versions of names that are everywhere atm. Ashley's horrible (sorry).

Maebh is absolutely lovely and by far my favourite.

Olivia is hugely popular already. I'm not keen on Gracie though quite like Grace. Not at all keen on Ashley, it quite dated now. Annabel is too close to all the Belle, Bella names that were all the rage a couple of years ago.

I hope you do use Maebh, it's a wonderful name.

Olivia - Gorgeous name. For me too popular.
Lily - Pretty, but a bit plain, more of a middle name. Plus it was WAAY too popular about 5 years ago.
Ashley - Dated, reminds me of lots of girls from high school back in 90's/early 2000's.
Penelope - LOVE it! it's strong but cutesy too, esp with 'Penny' as a nn.
Gracie - Too cutesy. I'd go with Grace, and nn Gracie.
Rosie - Too plain, more a middle name.
Maebh - Like it, but for me it'd be annoying that people would never know how to pronounce it if they saw it written down.
Annabel - I like this name. It's a bit dated, but I think it's ready for a comeback.

Since you are in Ireland are there no other pretty Irish names you like? There are so many and you can get away with the proper spelling without people asking how its spelt

Annabel or Penelope are my favourites, all beautiful names though!

Ashley.

Love it on a girl and a boy. Never met a little girl called Ashley though.

Maebh spelt Maeve?
Or Rosie

Penelope or Maebh.

The rest are so overused, and Annabel always sounds like a dull person's name to me.

Although Anna is lovely....
