As the title says. DH is Irish, I am English. Our daughter has a subtle Irish name which is easily spelt and pronounced. Would really like to follow the same pattern but we are really struggling.
We both like Finley but close friends sons name so cannot use it.
Open to suggestions.
Thank you

I wouldn't say Finley is Irish anyway - more American.

Cillian - should be very recognizable now with Cillian Murphy

Liam, Cathal, Cian, Conor, Fionn/ Finn, Lorcan

Tadhg - I have family in SE England who have used this name and said there are are a few without Irish heritage in the school.

Also Colm, Oscar, Eoin, Brian, Brendan, Sean

Conn has to be the easiest name in the world to spell!
What about Brendan?
Fergal
Rory
Dara (just found one that's easier than Conn!)
Colm
Declan
Dermott

I think Art fits the bill - ancient Irish name and simplest spelling possible.

Otherwise:
Cormac
Lorcan
Senan
Fergal
Ronan
Enda

All pronounced as written.

I’d actually disagree on Seamus - I have a friend Seamus in London and he gets “see-mus” allllll the time. It might be fairly well known amongst English people but people with international backgrounds (of which there are many in London) don’t get it at all.
