Hi all looking for opinions on my short list for both boy and girl!

I want an Irish name but not something so unusual that the poor child will constantly be spelling/explaining their name. Just to be clear - we live in Ireland so it won't be a problem here but want a name that can travel for them too

So...

Boys:
Dara
Oisin
Rory
Tadhg
Fionn
Ronan

Girls:
Maeve
Caoimhe
Clodagh
Aoife
Elisha
Sadhbh

Have at it 🙈

Boy: Rory
Girl: Maeve

Ronan
Rory
Clodagh

Love all the girls names and Tadgh and Fionn for boys. Is Fionn pronounced Finn? If so, I would probably go with that spelling as I think he'd spend his life correcting people calling him "fee-on". the name travels, but not the spelling in my opinion. Same for Sadhbh actually, out if Ireland people just won't know how to pronounce it

Top 3s:

Tadhg
Fionn
Oisin

Caoimhe
Clodagh
Sadhbh

Rory and Aoife

Rory and Maeve

I don't know how to pronounce Tadhg, regards that travelling thing.

I've always loved maeve. It would have been a strong contender if I'd had a girl.

Oisin and Maeve 😍

Rory and Maeve.

None of the other girls names will travel well.

❤️ Clodagh and Rory.

My least favourite are Tadhg and Elisha - but that's just my personal opinion!

My name is a common-ish Irish name, but has two pronounciations in Ireland - I have lived in Canada and my Husband is French, so people have gotten my name wrong a LOT !! Honestly, I found people outside of Ireland think it's super cool to have such unusual names (for them!!) and I correct people once or twice and it's done, no problems
Don't let it de the deciding factor - go with what you love :)

Oisin is one of my favourite names.

Rory and Fionn are great too but more popular in the U.K.

Caoimhe is my favourite from the girls.

Ronan and Maeve :) I love the name Ronan

Of the girls Maeve and Aoife will travel the best I think.

Irish names don't travel well at all imo! Me and my 5 siblings have Irish names (born in England but Irish mother) and apart from my brother (Connor) no one has a clue! They end up being anglicised very quickly, my sister Eimear is known as Emma, Caoimhe is Kizzy, my sister Saoirse used to introduce herself as Sasha but people seem to be getting more used to the name (maybe thanks to Saoirse Ronan but pronounced differently), my sister Ciara is ok until someone tries to read it! At work everyone calls my Effie . Not travelling well shouldn't be an excuse to not use a name, there are ways of working around it!

Ronan

Maeve

Rory

Caoimhe
Maeve
Aoife

I would assume Elisha is a boy as in the Bible.
