Girl name to go with Orla

73 replies

28 weeks and still not convinced I've found "the one". Not especially looking for another Irish name, we arent irish just loved the name at the time and this is a surprise gift we weren't expecting so never gave second thought to having to find another name that flows nicely with it. Really struggling but also quite desperate to get a shortlist together to help me feel a bit better bonded with the bump. There will be a 15 month age gap so quite close. Thank you!

Oonagh (Una) depending how you spell it.

Alana / Alanna / Alanah / Alannah ( which means pet/darling in Irish ).
Cara ( friend ) is lovely too.
Orla and Emily flow nicely together too.

If you have no Irish connection I'd avoid another Irish name.

How about Orla Ann.

I love Irish names, DD's is originally from Ireland. I chose an Irish name for my DD she called Nuala. Not many people heard of it but in Ireland it is as popular as Elizabeth. I know a girl called Orla and she is a beautiful, lovely person. Good choice I say.

DD's Dad I mean is from Ireland.

I think names beginning with another vowel sound good with Orla:

Orla & Amelie
Orla & Etta
Orla & Isabelle
Orla & Ottilie

Etc etc
