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.

A de mur I think OP
Doireann - Dirann - said fast.

Yay Cúshla (or should I say MacaroonMama ).
It's a great name.

@confuddled Yep I think it'll take a few days to let those names you like sink in anyway, and get used to them :)

Hhaha, re Siomha - no I don't think you could use it ;)

Aodhemar : Eh (Like a Canadian says Eh !) De Mar (Irish for sea)
I would put a slight emphasis on the 'Eh" sound
Hope that makes sense! A distant cousin of my Mam's used it on her daughter, never heard it before or since, really love it
Can we shortened to Adie if wanted too, so no worries about it 'travelling well' !

Doireann - Dirren
