A sibling for Caoimhe

[confuddledconfuddle]

So I have a Caoimhe (keeva, we are in Ulster so correct pronunciation for here), looking girls names, what should I be shortlisting!

Open to all ideas.

So far on my list is Fiadh but dh is not fussed

We had previously short listed Laoise but not sure if I love it anymore.

Erin, I love Erin, Caoilinn might be a bit too matchy matchy though. Aoibhinn. Emer. Orla. Niamh, I love. Dearbhaile.

I love Laoise we strongly considered it.

Niamh

I was going to call DS this if he'd been a girl. Love it

I love Fiadh! Cadlha, Róise, Síun, Sabh.....all classy.

@BrandNewHouse I could never use Aisling after 'what a complete aisling' also its my cousins name

I love Róise but my dh friend just used it - does that rule it out for us? We don't really see them from one year to another. They are uni friends

Our two are Scots names but Irish names are beautiful- have never heard your wee mans name before.

Oops missed your update about Aisling sorry op

I knew one at school with a sister called Meghan?

there is a male equivalent of sorts, Caoimhin which is pronounced Queee veeen and is the Irish for Kevin.

Caoimhín is the original from which the feminine was derived. You couldn't have a Caoimhe and a Caoimhin. It would be like Michael and Michaela.
Laoise is originally a male name. (Actually the name of a ancient kingdom, now basically Co. Laois).
