[Easter22bump]

Can you help us decide from the shortlist for Maeve’s brother or sister. I’m Irish, DH is English and live in the UK.


girls names:

Orla
Nora
Aoife
Ailbhe

boys names:
Rory
Tadhg

not looking for any more suggestions for 1st names but would like girls middle name suggestions please 😊

Orla and Rory

Orla and Rory

Airofe is beautiful is said correctly, but I expect in England it won't be! If you're not open to other suggestions, I'd learn to cope with the awful pronunciation. Personally not keen on Orla. There are some other lovely Irish girls names though..

I like Darragh

but out of your two Rory

tadhg nice in an Irish accent, not in English. Tends to sound like an abbreviation of Tiger .

Best wishes for the safe arrival of DC2 😊

[emmathedilemma]

Nora or Rory

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

Orla and Tadhg

Orla Rose?

[xmasaries]

Nora or Rory

[SleepingStandingUp]

It Depends where in the UK tbh. They're actually all lovely except Ailbhe which might but I haven't a clue on how to pronounce. I don't know if I'm pernickety Tadhg right either. If probably not pick something like this is most of the people they see for the first two decades will struggle to read their names. So Black Country? Prob not. Ireland? Well it depends how you pronounce Ailbhe

[Mommabear20]

I like Nora but not keen on the other options

[FayCarew]

Orla - only if you don't mind hearing it as Awla
Nora - not keen
Aoife - ok but Eva is very popular, so a bit samey
Ailbhe - Is it Elva? Elvia?

Rory - ok, a bit boring, crap if you can't say R
Tadhg - will get misspelt, heard as Tiger, otherwise nice

[ChagSameachDoreen]

Nora or Tadgh

[ChagSameachDoreen]

Sorry - ignore my bad spelling!

[FayCarew]

middle name: not Rose, May or Grace, or Jay
They are all so dull. Pick a middle name you like or that has meaning to you

[SycamoreTall]

Aoife and Ailbhe (al-va) are both lovely, they are my favourites. Both would be nice with a middle name starting with a consonant.

Ailbhe Beatrice?
Aoife Julia?
Aoife Caroline?

Both Rory and Tadhg are brilliant.

Orla and Rory

[Kite22]

Orla or Rory for me too.

[AliBaliBears]

Love all your names. I know an English Tadhg (Irish mum) and once people know how to pronounce it, it's not a problem.

I much prefer the spelling Norah to Nora. The latter looks incomplete to me.
