ds1 is called Bréagh, (pronounced bray)
we have a girls name already but cant think of a boys name that will compliment our son's. we want an irish name as our son's is irish and we dont want a name that someone we know has. any suggestions would be lovely.

Korma, I might know you. does your younger son's name start with R?

PinkTulips · 03/03/2009 18:18

i love Oisin, Daithí and Cathal but they're not hugely 'unique'

unusual irish names that can be found at dd's playschool are Aeonghus and Breen

Don't think anybody had suggested Ruadhan yet...there's a fada over the final a and it's pronounced Roo-AWn

Setanta is OK in Cork though, because of the blessed O hAlpin family! We considered it for our dog, too! I like Colm.

(No more babies means you can use all the leftover names for pets!) Naoise is a good name, I know a nice Naoise.

Thankyou! Weren't you lucky that Kerry wasn't hit by a cabinet minister falling from the heavens last night?

Malachy

screamingabdab · 03/03/2009 20:30

Sorry, had to go as hubbie came in and I didn't want him to know I'm on MN AGAIN!

Pleeeese choose Malachy (Malachi?). It was on my list but no possible justification for using it as I am from Essex {smile]

stleger · 03/03/2009 20:32

I like Malachy, I know 2 very cool young Malachys. BUT my great granny had a pet duck called Malachy so couldn't use it.

Oh, Martin Cullen (minister for fun I think, used to be transport) was in a helicopter flying from Killarney to the airport and the door fell off! Imagine if he had fallen out....considers what sort of smiley face to insert...

No. no casualties. it is about 6 months old. Stick to the Economist, the 'real news' is too crazy for words. Ds and dh read it along with National Geographic!

willowthewispa · 03/03/2009 20:54

Naoise is a boy's name isn't it? I thought it was from a myth.
