What do you think of the name Sinead?

[misdee]

Still strugglin with girls names.

One that wasnt immediantly dismissed and is now the first girls name we have actually considered serious, was Sinead.

We have a Nicole, Lauren and Serena. Someone on another thread pointed out that all have E and N in them. and they work well together. Does Sinead fit in there?

Boys name is nice too (are you spelling it Isaac or Issac? Are they said the same?) dn (nephew) is called Isac

oh and HI
congratulations
and how are things!

Issac. I think thats the way it was spelt in my bible lol.

emmaline? (has the ne thing going on...)

Um.....conventional spelling is Isaac if that is what you are after but I have seen a lot of variations - some are foreign spellings and some look pretty much made up to me

spelling was never my strong point!

Agree with BBM - standard biblical spelling is Isaac

cross posted!
I'm guessing it can be Izaac too?

Agree with BBM - standard biblical spelling is Isaac

I like Sinead!

ooo is it.

will make sure i spell it right

have checked, and its def Isaac, thanks for correcting me.

googling names brings up some fascinating spellings of names.

• just googled 'Issac' to see what came up and all I got was 'International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation'

Anyway, 'tis an awful name no matter how you spell it - don't use it at any cost !

Sinead lovely by the way - makes me think of Sinead Cusack (married to Jeremy Irons).

lol BBM. what do u think of Bernard

Bernard's lovely - you really should go for it you know

Sinead's a lovely name, and really unusual (have only ever met one Sinead before).

I like Bernard, too.

OOOOOOOooooH

I saw this thread in work, and I have a self imposed rule not to post.

It is a truly wonderful name.

ex[pat how you doing?

i think dh would wet himself with laughter if i actually suggested bernard seriously. he has been joking about it for so so long.

So you're not really considering Bernard as an alternative to Isaac if it's a boy .

Ooops. Sorry! I like both names.

I'm hoping the nausea abates soon - a little over 15 weeks now .

Heartburn kicking in.

I'm reasonably sure it's another girl, but may or may not be proven wrong on 13 June.

If it's a girl, she'll be Muireann. If it's a boy, he'll be Struan.

I don't like it. Sorry, bit you did ask.

expat how do you pronouce those

bernard is a v v long running joke, dating way back to when i was pregnant with dd1. dh says it like 'Buuuuuurn-nard' in a deep gruff voice. it is actually growing on me, its only taken over 8years to get me to like it lol.

LGJ, did i spell Sinead correctly?

Mirren and Strewn, well, that's how it's said around here, there's a wee boy in P4 of Dd1's soon-to-be school with that name.

But not any others I've seen.

Actually, one of the students I used to work with, a wee girl from Ayrshire, is the one who suggested it.

very nice (now i know how to say them )

do u get a 20 week scan up where you are?

i am being bombarbded with scans, inc specialist ones at guys hospital again. double whammy due to dh (viral) heart probs and dd1 leaking valve. so will get to see this little one loads, as will also be having growth scans every 4 weeks due to gestional diabetes last time.
