Need some nice Irish names..

[mica23]

Dont know sex of the baby yet but would like to give it an Irish name.DP is Irish but no help!!Thank you..

Aoife and Aine are nice for a girl. I also like Aengus and Quinn for a boy.

try www.babynamesofireland.com

Love Caitlin, it's v popular now though.

Sean and Patrick are nice.

I love Aoife and Aisling.

I have a Ciaran(boy) and a Caoimhe(girl). There is so many beautiful Irish names. Is there anyone you would like to name the baby after that I might know the Irish translation of?

My 2 ds' are Patrick and Finnian(Finn for short)

Wow, that great! LittleMonkey-thanks for the link.
cikecaka-how about Pauline?

maeve
(Maevie for nickname)

As far as I know Pauline would be Polin with a fada over the o

Dervla, Ciara, Bronagh, Emer for girls

Malachy, Finbar, Daragh, Fintan for boys

Moya- not classic Irish but friendly, writes nicely and when i say it it makes me

Dts1 is Niall (pronounced the Irish way 'Nyle' and not the Scottish way 'Neil'.) It means champion which he is and was the name of an ancient King.

If I were to ever be lucky enough to have another baby (note to self...need a new dh first!) Oisin would be on the list. I love how it sounds plus it means "little dear deer" and was the name of a warrior hero and poet!

My dd middle name is Rafferty, which was her great-grandmas maiden name. But think it makes a lovely first name for a girl too!

Daire (Dara) for a boy
Cian (boy)
Padraig (boy) can have Paddy for short which i think is fab

absolutely love Emer.

Cara means friend which is lovely

I also love Aoife, Aisling (means dream or vision), Eimear and Sorcha (light)

for boys

Malachy, Ruairi, Oisin

wish I'd given mine irish names sometimes

I love Oisin for a boy@Turnip. Would you say Osh-een or Oh-sheen?

Off the top of my head, some names I like:

Girls:

Aoife
Liadan
Mairead
Aifric
Aisling
Sorcha
Grainne
Roisin
Saoirse
Caoimh e
Siobhan
Tara

Boys:

Dara
Ciaran
Cian
Cillian

moyasmum- in Croatian Moya spelt moja but pronaunced same means mine.

I know a child called Aiofe (pronounced Eifa). My dd1's name is Caragh. If it is spelt (cara it means 'term of endearment' but changing it to Caragh changed the meaning to 'love'.

I wanted to call BabyDragon Caoimhe but decided it was too darn tricky for non-Irish (and no one in my family is Irish )

Some I considered even though I didn't give my children Irish names: Clodagh, Maeve, Oisin, Diarmuid and Tadhg

Niamh and Aoife and Caoimhe Cian have all 'made it' in the UK but sound a bit blah to me. Eve sounds more 'exotic' to my ear!!

Cara means friend in Irish.

Blainnaid means flowers or Bloom perhaps. I like that one. Pronounced BLONNud. Might sound a bit strange to the English ear though.

Liadan pronounced LEEadin is gaining popularity here too.

For boys I like also like Malachy, Donach, Cathal, Cormac.

Fintan or Finbar make a change from Findlay. They are the irish gaelic equivalents.

PS, I really like Seamus. That is so cool. All the old codger Seamuses are disappearing fast, it's ready to be a toddler name.

Please not Caitlin or Cian. They sound a bit cream cracker to me now. Sorry.

oh yes SEamus is gorgeous
i know a v handsome seamus
