Donnacha …….

[Babyboyno2]

Donnacha, Daithí, Darragh, Caolán what’s your favourite ?

Or Conán

I really like Donnacha

The two beginning with C are my favourites, Donnacha is my least favourite.

Probably Darragh out of those. Not a fan of Donnacha and Dáithí at all. Caolán is fine.

Darragh.

'Donnacha wish your girlfriend was hot like me'

I'm not saying this to be rude but on an anonymous forum it is a way of saying what others think.

Obviously if I knew you I'd learn how to pronounce it, and if you are in (I guess ) Ireland it would be fine, and if you love it go for it.

It's pronounced like Dunnuh-kah, but can see why it might look like Dontcha

I’m not familiar with how to pronounce this name and unfortunately, this was my first thought too.

Darragh is my favourite.
Donnacha is nice ( like it for a brown haired child)
Don't like the others.

Are you in Ireland or elsewhere as that will probably make a difference to how the names are perceived!

@FrothyCothy yes well NI

I prefer Donncha as a spelling, but it of those you list. Daithí is, I fully recognise, a nice name, but Daithí O’Sé has killed it for me. Now it makes me want to shout ‘Smarmy Hair-Transplant!’ at passers-by.

I would pay no attention to the Little Englanders displaying their usual wit.

Also like these James, Oscar, Noah and Freddie. Just thought an Irish name would be nice but finding it hard to be 100% set on one

Love Donnacha and Daithí

Am personally a fan of the F names, Feidhlim, Fionn and Fiachra

@AtYourOwnRisk i actually preferred the Donncha spelling aswell when looking it up online. But thought it might of been more “made” up

@Forestcantrun Fionn, as like “fee-on”?

Fionn as in ‘Fyun’, roughly.

I love Fiachra, Ferdia, and Felim/Féilim. DS was nearly Iarla, and I think Naoise was another we seriously considered.

@AtYourOwnRisk i absolutely loved Iarla when I first heard it , just not sure how people would cope with the pronunciation here

I know a teenage Iarlaith in London. And a Naoise in Newcastle.

Donnacha is a gorgeous name

I like Darragh. Used to work with a Darragh and he had a great sense of humour.

I prefer it spelled Donnchadh (which English people will struggle with even more, of course). I also really like Darragh, but would spell it Daire. (Sorry... this isn't that helpful!) Other options - I wanted to call DS Ruán but DH didn't like it. Or Séamus? If you like James?

I like Darragh and Donnacha. Known lovely ones of both.

I always think that the spelling Daire is a bit feminine, I automatically think girl when I see it spelled that way.

It's a nice name but always reminds me of Donaghadee
