Three week old- no name - help!

Help choosing baby name please!

Baby girl. Now three weeks old... no name!

Dad is Welsh. Mum is Irish. We'd like something reflective of our heritage (so an Irish, Welsh or Celtic name) but not so much that the spelling is wild or that there is huge difficult to pronounce.

Any ideas?!

Why haven't you thought something up in 9 months??

Why are you so judgemental. No one has to justify themselves to you. Don't want to answer the question? Don't click on the thread.

Love Orla and also Aine

We have an Eira, we are English with Welsh and Irish heritage. Maybe not the season for it tho (our Eira was born in Dec). Erin is also a good one as PP suggested. And I like Maura too. Congratulations! Please tell us what you decide 😊

I named my daughter Amber after her beautiful Amber hair. Is there something you love about your daughter that you could link her name to?

Manon is one of my favourite girls names.
Aoife is lovely.
Seren too

Any taking your fancy so far?

Congratulations btw!

I have a friend with a little girl called Orla. Mum is Irish living in England.
The plus is, that unlike a lot of other Irish names, is that English people can say it and spell it.

Sunnyshoeshine · 02/07/2022 19:33

DH is of irish descent (grandparents) and we wanted a simE vibe. DD is Erin so i love that its getting lots of love on this list. Other names we considered (and potentially will use for DD2) were

Orla
Aoife
Bridget
Maeve
Aine
Ciara
Niamh

Sunnyshoeshine · 02/07/2022 19:34

SimE? Should be similar!^

As with some PP I've always loved Eira.

Also really like Eimear, Orla, Gwenan, and Seren.

Mary

KirstenBlest · 03/07/2022 14:00

@AntiHop , Bronwyn is an american spelling of Bronwen, and the -wyn ending makes it masculine, but it's not a name used for boys

I'm Welsh, my husbands English and we live in England. We've got a daughter named Mabli. It's quite a marmite name but I love it and completely suits her

Twizbe · 03/07/2022 16:52

Cerys
Nerys
Imogen

I love Mabli, it's a great name. Also in England with an English DH and Mabli is on my list.

sageandbasil · 03/07/2022 20:57

@CaffiSaliMali ah lovely! It can be annoying- people think I'm saying Maddly. Dunno why! And when it's written down some people pronounce it Mayblee but I wouldn't change it. I get alot of positive comments about it and she suits it plus I like it's different! Good luck with the naming it was so much harder than I was expecting!

Cloud16 · 03/07/2022 20:59

Cerys is a Welsh favourite of mine!

Also like Erin as others have suggested.

midsomermurderess · 03/07/2022 21:03

I'd say Fiadh too. Madly popular in Ireland, I believe, not so much in the UK.
