I love Saoirse but it sounds better with Grace (or anything besides Mae).
That double barreled, slightly southern US feel that Mae adds just sounds really wrong with an Irish name.
Zoe is nice but a bit boring. Same for Ellie. Erynn looks totally made up.
Alex, Oisin and Dylan are all lovely.

Erin- but only spelled like that, not Erynn as that sounds like you're trying too hard to be unique'

Alex or Corey

Saoirse - too Little Women, might be ok if you are irish

Saoirse Mae
Erynn Grace

My sister is Erin Nicole please spell it Erin it's so beautiful.
My hubby is Corie James spelt like this 😃

AnnUumellemahaye · 09/04/2020 09:33

If you are going to chose Erin then spell it properly please. Erynn is going to give her a lifetime of correcting people.

@coldtapwater what middle name would you put with Oisin? I have loved it fot years..my dh also not mad about it lol

What other middle names do people.put with Saoirse?

I know spelling Erin - Erynn annoys most people 😔 but I just love that look of it kinda like the way people spell Robyn

Saoirse. Don’t like the boys names

Jossina · 09/04/2020 15:51

Girls:
Saoirse not bad
Erynn: please no
Ellie: this is a nickname
Zoe: classic, I like it

Boys:
Alex; this is a nickname
Oisín: how do you pronounce it? Oy-sin? O-is-in?
Corey: god, that name takes me back to the 80s/90s...
Dylan: classic cool

Rio5555 · 09/04/2020 16:26

I think we have very different name tastes so not sure my input will help.

If you go for Erin I prefer the traditional spelling. Zoe feels a bit dated, how about Zara?

DramaAlpaca · 09/04/2020 17:20

Favourite for girls is Zoe, but with Grace not Amelia.

For a boy I really like Oisín James.

Ughmaybenot · 09/04/2020 20:09

Erynn isn’t a great spelling (to put it kindly!), but I love Erin Grace, and Alex James.
