Due dc2 next spring- boys name sorted as we’re using a family name. Having more trouble with a girls name.

Dd is Sadhbh (pronounced Sive, rhymes with 5) which was DH’s pick. Ideally would go for another Irish name, but every irish girl’s name I’ve looked at is either

  1. Hideous (looking at you, Gobnait) Or
  2. very frequently used as it isn’t hideous (lovely names like Aoife and Ciara)

We are in Ireland so spelling etc isn’t an issue. I like Elinor, so it doesn’t need to be an Irish name (but I don’t love it).

Please hit me with inspiration- DH has just seriously suggested Blaithín so I’ve given up there.

villainousbroodmare - I’m afraid it’ll be William (Will) for a boy after my grandad. It’s been my number 1 boys name since I was about 13 so DH had to get on board!

It’ll be William Tiernan or William Donnacha since DH gets to pick the middle name this time

I am also in Ireland and thinking of Elinor! FYI there has only been one year since 1964 when at least three girls were called it.
