Girl name that goes with O'Brien

[pearlsandpetals]

Hi, we are currently pregnant and looking for a girl name that goes with our surname O'Brien. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

For Irish readers, Sally O'Brien and the way she might look at you!
I know Kate, Norah, Carmel, Lisa and Hannah. In their teens and early twenties.

Kate or Lucy would work well

Francesca

Cecelia

Anything but Lily.

OP, if you are Irish or have been here, you will know that a woman who had a daughter of that name set up a chocolate company called "Lily O'Brien's" - the chocolates are delicious.

I have a similar surname so I would suggest

any name ending in an "a' sound or an "e" sound but only 2 syllables

Ella
Ava
Emma
Ellie
Milly
Amy

etc - keep writing them until you find one you love

I would argue against going with a really "Irish" name - but that is just my opinion as an Irish person, I think O'Brien sounds Irish enough (I say this as someone who has a really Irish surname - you don't need to over-egg it by adding a Sorcha or a Siofra on top of it)

Agree with PP who suggest something shorter with one or two syllables might sound the nicest with a 3 syllable surname (and to watch the initials for rudeness so N or S names might not be ideal and perhaps G as well). With apologies for repeats:

Rose
Eve
May
Tess
Faye
Faith
Hope
Lara/Laura
Anna
Alice
Emma
Clara/Cara
Erin
Esme
Xanthe
Cora

My daughter has friends Ciara and Niamh who have that surname.

Caroline O’Brien

Daisy
Lucy
Rosie

Kate O'Brien
Zara O'Brien
Clare O'Brien

Something classical, and short

Lovely surname...
