[Opinions] Re: WDYT of these Irish names?
in reply to a message by Caelesti
I like:
Aislinn- ASH-ling
Caoilinn- KEE-lin or KWEE-lin, Keely- prefer it spelt Caoilfhionn,
Faine- FAWN-ya
Fionna, Fiona
Maeve /Meadhbh- MAYV
*Muriel / Muirgheal
Saoirse SEER-sha
*Taillte- TAL-tyeh
Niamh- I'd just like to correct your pronounciation of it, though. It's generally pronounced NEEV, although in some parts of Ireland, they pronounce the end of the name as if it were sort of half a syllable, like NEE-uv. The emphasis definitely isn't on the second syllable, though.
