Pardon my ignorance but I'm curious how you pronounce Eirinn, is it a girls name?

Finn

Love Finn

Ronan is also amazing albeit a teeny bit tarnished by Roman keating

@sel2223 thanks just thought it was a little bit more feminine although also love Erin just wanted a wee twist on the name.

thanks everyone for the suggestions finding it so hard

Just fyi, Eirinn is more than just a twist on Erin.

You've used the dative case of the noun Eire (fada on E, can't do fadas on my phone). It's the form of the noun that follows a preposition (to, at, in, on, and so on).

Oscar is nice but worth noting it is quite popular these days.
we know 3!!!

@mathanxiety I was explaining that it’s a similar version and pronunciation , I’m happy with her name and suits her very well.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Donnacha, is it very “out” there

OP posts:
BeckyWithTheGoodBear · 25/08/2024 14:29

It's not to me but I'm Irish and it's a very common name in Ireland. That spelling also makes it easy to pronounce.

Firebird83 · 26/08/2024 18:03

I really like Donnacha

Babyboyno2 · 26/08/2024 18:55

I like it’s lovely top 3 are Donnacha, Ruairí and Oscar

PurpleDiva22 · 26/08/2024 19:10

I hate that Ruairí sometimes gets mixed with Rory! Drives me nuts!
