Hi,

I'm due in less than 4 weeks and really struggling to think of names that I really like.

Living in Ireland and while I do like Irish names I don't want them to be difficult to pronounce or spell.

At the min my top 2 are Kate and Finn.

I'd welcome any other suggestions.

Thank you

So do you have a preference for one syllable names?

Slippingcareer · 08/10/2021 15:13

@PanicBuyingSprouts not specifically, they're just names I like. The surname has 2 syllables.

@coodawoodashooda I love that name but my husband doesn't

I have a Shay and a Fynn. In your neck of the woods maybe Shane and Finn too much like Sinn Fein...

Slippingcareer · 08/10/2021 16:06

I'm in Ireland and know a few Shanes. Their siblings are Maeve, Conor, Niall and Cian.

To be fair, I really like your 2 choices! Go with them :)

AosSi · 10/10/2021 12:38

Girls names: Cara, Emer, Aoife, Orla (Cara, Emer and Orla very easy for foreigners and Aoife seems to be exploding in popularity internationally). Ciara, maybe? Though you'd get see-air-ah from some.

Boys names: Ciar, Rian, Conor, Liam would all travel well, I think.

Shane and Nancy?

Shane and Fintan?

Good luck with the birth.
