Four names on list so far

[Jan2026x]

Girl: Tara or Maria
Boy: Declan or Ciaran

What do you think? Living in England

I like the girls’ names but not the boys’ unless you have Irish heritage.

I like Tara. Not keen on the boys names.

I like Maria and Ciaran.

Tara and Declan!
Ciaran I’d be weary of because there is multiple spellings but that may not bother you!

Maria and Ciaran

I'd avoid Ciaran because most people in England will continually spell it wrong and also pronounce it wrong.

My favourites are Tara and Ciaran - familiar but not overused and they fit nicely with the current naming trends without being overly popular.

I like Maria, the rest I’m not keen on. Out of the boys Declan is much better as it’s not likely to be spelt incorrectly or mispronounced!

I like Declan, but not keen on any of girl list. How about Julia?

Ciaren and Maria

Do you have any Irish connections OP?

Yes I do - Irish parents

I love Declan. Maria is classic

I would pick Tara and Ciaran
I do like Maria too though, not keen on Declan

I like the girl names but I love the boy names

I like them all. I like Mara even more.

Maria and Declan

I love Tara. Out of the two boys names I prefer Ciaran but not keen on either.

Tara, Declan.

will say all are quite dated in England though

Maria and Ciaran

I prefer Marie to Marie.

I like Tara.

I don’t like either of the boys names.

Tara and Declan of your choices.

Love underused but pretty and simple Tara, although I don’t dislike very classic Maria. Declan is fine but if you are living in England then I think Ciaran might get Kieran a lot - thats an extra hassle for him imo.

Tara for a girl.
Dara for a boy.
Really don't like Declan or Ciaran.

Declan or Tara.

Ciaran is very old fashioned.

I like all these names. (Not very helpful sorry !)
