Id bubs is another girl, she will be Sinead, which is apparently the irish version of janet, which is dh mums name.

so i was thinking of a variation of Marie (my mums middle name, she doesnt like her first name Virginia) as babys middle name.

any ideas?

What about just Mary? Some might think it's plain but I think it's a lovely, simple but very feminine name.

The Irish form Maire would go well with Sinead, but I'm not sure how you pronounce it, you'd have to ask someone irish.
