Celtic girls’ names?

[rois36]

Lacking inspiration. Looking for something Celtic/Irish but not necessarily “as Gaeilge” and not as common as Aoife/Sadhbh/Caoimhe etc.

Would be a sister to Iseult and Aifric, so something along those lines would be helpful.

Guinevere?

Iseult is one of my favourite names, well done!

I’d go for Guinevere.

Snap - just saw your post Fifthtimelucky

both Aifric and Iseult were on my short list (as would Aedemar have been but for a cousin with that name)!

My top ones would be

Sorcha
Liadan
Meliosa
Muire
Benvon (especially if you have a connection to Munster)

I thought Elowen was a good suggestion with reference to the other two names.

(I know Guinevere is Welsh btw but it’s gorgeous and Iseult isn’t technically Irish given that the poem is Norman, altho she’s an Irish princess).

Dearbhlagh?

Thanks for all the suggestions! Aedamair would be my favourite but is off limits unfortunately!

Leaning towards either Síofra or Róise. Sadhbh is also lovely.

More suggestions welcome!

I think Róise is lovely!

My top ones are

Realtin -means little star
Síle - also love the anglicized version Sheila
Cadhla
Enid
Einin -means little bird
Étaín
Eibhlín - also love Eileen
Meabh
Shannon
Doireann

Would you consider Manx names?

Ainle
Alistrina
Blaanid
Breeshey
Calybrid
Fingola
Kirree
Voirrey

How do you pronounce them Marioki? I recognise Voirrey as Manx Mary but have no idea about how it sounds.

One of my favourite Welsh phrases, I can't explain why, I just love the sound of it

I grew up in Gwynedd and it was definitely El-erry (as in Ceri). Living down Swansea/Llanelli way now and can confirm the Eleris I've met down here are El-airy.

Sorry no help but your daughters names are gorgeous!

Fiadh is becoming v v popular lately for girls i notice.

Voirrey tends to be pronounced Vorree though technically it should be Vorya.

Breeshey is pronounced Breesha and Breesha is an alternative spelling.

Blaanid can be pronounced Bleynid or Blairnid

The others are pronounced as spelt.

Why do you struggle so much with the idea that there are (many) different accents across Wales which influence how a name sounds to people with that accent. Every single time a Welsh name comes up

Love your names, OP.

Liadan? I love that name, it’s old and Irish, fits the bill.

Yes, but Llanelli people say Llan-air-lli
Thanks Marioki, here are my attempts.
Ainle - Ainley?
Alistrina-Alistrina (like Katrina)
Blaanid - Blaynid, Blairnid
Breeshey - Breesha
Calybrid - Cally-brid
Fingola - Fingola or Fing-gola?
Kirree - Kirry
Voirrey - Vorry or Vorya

They're all pretty.

I'm glad someone said it

I agree, all this "correct" pronunciation
