Irish girls- is Róisín dated? Many of them about?

[oneill19]

I like Aoife and Maeve but there's so many of them.

I don't like Aoife and Maeve much (sorry!) I do like Roisin though. Pronounced Ro-sheen yes?

I agree. Roisin much much more. It's a really nice name.

I wouldn't worry about is name dated in original country if you don't live in it. For example, don't worry if Roisin is dated in Ireland if you don't live in Ireland because each country/state/place has its own trends and it may be too complicated to follow trends in different countries.
If you love Róisín, just use it.

Yes, Ro-sheen. Not sure if we need the fadas? DH would probably insist.

We're in Ireland but not a very fashionable part!

I know a few in their 40s, two in their teens and one primary age. If you like it, use it! Róise is nice too with Róisín as a pet name.

Best name ever but I am biased.

It hasn’t waned in popularity from what I can see. I often see baby ones in my work.

I love it.

You need the fadas! My name has a fada and without it, it wouldn't be my name!

I know a little Roisin, it's a lovely name

I love Roisin but DH wasn't keen 😫 Agree on Maeve - we were very undecided on names for DD2 and we quite liked Maeve. We used it for 2 days and in that time we met 3 others (South London) so we went for something different. Luckily we hadn't told any of the family yet! 🙈

Just call it a trial run 2024!

I don't love anything really, although I do dislike plenty lol. I think I'll need to see the baby first too.

Absolutely. Rőisín without the fadas would be, roughly, ‘Russian’!

Róisín is lovely.
Yes, do please keep the fadas!
comhghairdeas! 💕

Roisin is beautiful. Aoife is boring and Maeve is absolutely awful.

Irish names are hugely popular at the moment in the toddler groups I’ve been at for the last few years (hi, Ireland based) and it feels like the rarer, the better?

I have known two Roisins ever, and both are now in their 30s. It’s a lovely name. The only drawback is if they emigrate, they will end up being Raisins with an o.

Róise seems to be the more fashionable Rose name in Ireland these days. Róisín is fine but yes, a bit boring. But I think that of a lot of Irish names. We all grew up with a million Aoifes, Orlas and Emers. So now I'm drawn to fancy foreign names 😂

I actually really like Róise. Seems lovely and fresh.

I know one who is 17.

How are we pronouncing that?

roe-shuh

Roe sheh, like the e sound in the word leg but you'll hear Roe sha and Roe shuh as a pp said.

I adore Maeve, Roisin although pretty reminds me of a raisin if they were to travel/emigrate and Róise is gorg

Woke up today with my mind totally changed and all three are downgraded to only likes. I want a love. Dammit!

I think maybe it is a bit dated as it was very common when I was in school (I'm 30 now) but not too much so!
Other ideas:

Or, less obviously Irish but still slightly, Cara, Evanna or Alanna

Caoimhe and Saoirse are very pretty
