Cuilean

[MissMoodyMoo]

Not pregnant just thinking of some possible names for the future. Our baby girl already has a gaelic animal name so I quite fancy if we are blessed with another to carry on the theme!

Cuilean- gaelic for puppy/cub
Pronounced- kwi-lee-an

I think it's the combo of it being two words and the fact it's his 'superhero' name rather than his real name. Plus it's a lot to live up to!

Let's just say my head would whip round for a gawk if I heard someone calling out to a Cú Chulainn in the supermarket!

Cuilean is more Quilyan than the pronunciation you have spelled, OP.

How about Ferdia for a future boy?
Or Colm - means dove.

CúChulainn would be as bad as Colmcille, which exH wanted to call a second DS if we had had one.

I know a child who's called Cuillin (or something like it, that's how it's pronounced anyway?). I don't like it tbh, sounds like "culling".
