Was just making up a list of baby names (not pg, just ttc) and I remembered that every time I've read a Maeve Binchy novel I've liked the names of most of her characters.

Now that I'm trying to remember them, I can't think of a single one - anyone remember any?

Oh, actually here's one - Maura... any more?

Niamh?

Oops

I remember having to ask how to pronounce half the names in her books!

Claire & Gerry were the only easy ones!

She had an Olivia, called Liffey for short? (That was Claire's daughter?)

Oh I love Kit. It's a fab name.

Yes, I like Niamh but dh doesn't. Both Tana & Tara are nice. Olivia is lovely but again dh doesn't agree. Kit is good.
