This is assuming you are based in ROI / NI as otherwise it can be a pain to spell out every time!

If not then maybe some people are more familiar with...

Haha scratch my suggestions!

Do you have a couple of example names you quite like to help people suggest more?

Quire · 09/10/2021 23:08

Aifric, Méabh, Clodagh, Dearbhla, Caoimhe, Éabh, Liadh, Eimear, Doireann, Ciara, Sadhbh, Siún?

Zara
Tess
Skye
Eden

All would go lovely with O'Flaherty (or whatever the surname is)

Alice is lovely, are there any so far on the thread you like and then people can suggest similar ones?

Forestcantrun · 09/10/2021 23:17

Is it O'Shaungnessy?

Anything goes. If you're not going Irish, go classic. Mary, Amy, Cleo, Zoe...

sillysmiles · 09/10/2021 23:22

Aoife?
Niamh
Eva
Isla
Orla
Fiadh
Amy
Kit
Joy

ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS · 09/10/2021 23:32

So I’m guessing something like O’Shaughnessy

Rosie O’Shaughnessy
Sarah
Sammy
Amy
Emily
Hettie
Eidie
Pheobie
Marie (Pronounced Mar- ree)
Charlotte
Teresa or Terry
Laura
Erin (I know Irish but sounds nice)
Felicity (Flick)

I think most short names with go with any long Irish sounding surnames. There are lots of non Irish sounding names in Ireland.
