Gaelic girls names

[MissMoodyMoo]

Hey guys!

I love Niamh, Eilidh, Ailish or Milidh

Any more similar vibe?

Thank you ❤

I love Fionnuala. Clodagh is nice.

I like Ailish from your list.

As someone with a very poor understanding of Irish, I noticed a fair amount of words in Scotland were similar (on the road signs), at least in the spelling when I last visited.

Etain or Aifric .

How do you say Fiadh?

Ailbha, Saorise,

@Iba, Fiadh rhymes with Leah.

Suggestions:
Ailbhe
Doireann
Muireann
Onora - fada on second O
Orla
Caitriona - fada on second I
Beibhinn
Siun (fada on the U), pr 'shoon'
Liadan

Sorry- can't do fadas on my phone.

Also:
Marsaili

I love Sadhbh and Aoibhinn. I have also grown to love Caoimhe, since it has become more popular.

It is something to consider though, if you live in the UK, that a lot of people won't be able to pronounce, or spell the name, unless it's a well known Irish name. It's all very well saying that it's prejudiced etc to find Irish names tricky, but it's your child who will have to spend a relatively large proportion of their life spelling their name out to people, telling them how to pronounce it, having stuff spelt wrong a lot and so on. Obviously it's different if you live in Ireland.

Aiobhinn

🤣🤣

I love Saorla (rhymes with Sarah, only with an L in there!)

Sadhbh (rhymes with five)
Aoibhín (A-veen)
Siobhán (shuh vawn)
Síomha (shee uv ah)
Eimear (eemer)
Ciara
Niamh
Caoimhe (kwee va)
Cáit (cawtch)

If you already have a Fiadh you'll know how people around you handle the Irish spelling, but bear in mind fadas can be tricky and can cause issues on online forms etc (even in Ireland).

I love the name Sunniva ….
it’s popular in Norway, but originated from an Irish saint.

Love Ruadh

Caoimhe in the north of Ireland is pronounced Kee-va

Siofra, pronounced...She fra
Clodagh
Aine
Ciara
Ceadaoin
Una
Saorise
Beibhinn
Siobhan
Craoi
Sadhbh
Bronagh
Aoife
Roisin

I really like Eilidh but also have a child with Irish name and not sure if mixing with Scottish Gaelic.

I've recently come across Eile but I would read it as you pronounce it in Irish (ella) and I think English people would find it confusing (if you're in England).

I like Roisin but love Roise.
Love Laoise, can't personally use it 😞
Love Caoimhe but my English DH couldn't cope with that suggestion.

Never heard of Ruadh but like it, is it a girls name though?
Are there some other takes on this, I feel like I've seen Luadh somewhere

What's the next Fiadh?

Another one I like is Eabha but don't love the spelling.
Prefer the spelling of Aoibhe but sound of 'Ava'

I met an Aoife today, thought that was really pretty

Caolfhionn
Labhaoise
Gobnait
Just kidding.
Don't use any of those.

It's a pain in the arse having an Irish name no one can pronounce. I speak from experience.

Laoise and Aoife are fab -I'm biased though , they're my daughters names !!

Please don't name your child Céadaoin 😂

YYY, @ Céadaoin.

Also Craoi, for different reasons.

We loved Aine but ended up having 2 boys
