Irish Names

Hello everyone!

I haven't gotten pregnant yet, but I'm trying to find some names that I can suggest for my husband when the time comes.

I am 50% Irish ( My grandparents were fresh off the boat when my mother was born) and I would love to use Irish names for my children.

I'm looking for a names that are noticeably Irish without being too, hard to pronounce, if you know what I mean.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Patrick

hmm will have a think for you

There was a boy who went to kinder with my daughter last called TADHG - pronounced Tige (like short for tiger). I think that was an irish name.

Cian (pronounced like Ian with a C at the beginning)is also another one

I think Caitlin is Irish, Colleen, Kathleen

Finnian

For boys Malachy (pronounced Malakee)means my angel or Cairon (pronounced Keeron) means little dark one and for girls Niamh (pronounced Neev) means radiance or Roisin (pronounced Ro-sheen) means little rose.

Ok two of my boys have Irish names they are Kailen and Lauchlan.

There is also Corey.

BBL with some more, baby needs a feed.

I thought I was having a boy and had Patrick Mackenzie all picked out especially because Mackenzie means "son of the handsome one' (see my sig for why this tickled my fancy). So when DD arrived we were flummoxed but ended up using Mackenzie for her middle name.

Siobahn
Finn

I LOVE Irish names even though I have no Irish blood whatsoever.

I personally LOVE shey/shay
unfortunately DH doesnt :(

Aiden ;) 'little fire' but I think it should be little nutter seeing as he threw himself off my bed onto suitcases and laughed lol.
Aisling can also be pronounced Ash-ling

Oooh, my favourite type of names :) (Note - see our next two names picked out in the siggy... *LOL*)

My favs would be Aidan and Rory for boys, and Siobahn and Niamh for girls. Although Siobahn and Niamh aren't the easiest for pronunciation.
