Opinions on my names please :)

I love the name Niamh, but think she would be explaining how to say it alot. I know how to pronounce it, but alot wouldn't. Adrienne is pretty too. Honestly, I don't like Seamus much, but do like Kieran.

Other names:

Liam
Aidan (Aodhan)
Brendan (Breandán)
Declan (Deaglán)

Bridget, Brigid (BrÃ*d, BrÃ*de)
Kathleen (CaitlÃ*n)
Alby (Ailbe)


ETA, Jen, how do you pronounce Saiorse?

I NEVER knew Niamh was pronounced Neve. There is a BB member with that name and I have always thought it was beautiful but I thought you said Ny-Am - Ah and liked it coz it was soo different ...... don't shoot me Niamh

I love Neve as it is too x x

DD goes to school with a Saiorse, they pronounce it See-sha.

A friend has a daughter named Niamh, so I am now aware of how to pronounce it. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't. And that is understandable - if a name is unfamiliar, we try to pronounce it phonetically. I have often heard it mis-pronounced as Niam (rhymes with Liam).

The other problem is, that people never know how to spell her name either.
But it is such a personal decision- only you can make it. Her friends and teachers will learn how to pronounce and spell it.
