Baby is imminent and we still haven't found 'the one'! So any new ideas of favourites of our current shortlist very welcome.

For a girl we like Daphne, Clíodhna, Clodagh
For a boy we like Emmett, Oisín, Gabriel, Raphaël

Our first child has an Irish name but we live in France so need something not absolutely impossible to get their heads round. No plans to live in UK so no problem with the issue of Clíodhna sounding like cleaner (we would probably go for nickname Clio here for ease).

Help!!

I love Daphne, I don’t know how to say the other two so I can’t comment. I’m not a big fan of the way clodagh looks though.

Emmet and Oisín I like, I don’t like your other two boys names

They are all beautiful names, especially the boys names!
I love Emmett and Daphne, I think they’ll really stand the test of time without being too popular!
Hope it all goes well xx

Penelope. I think it’s said ‘Penelop’ in French, which is cute. Or Xanthe.

I'm coming back round to our original list! Daphne Emmett and Gabriel seem popular. I like Jasper and Lucian but they're out (friends kid/DH veto).
