[Opinions] Most Irish name you can think of?
What is the most Irish name you can think of? I'm just curious...
I met an Aonghus last week and for some reason I thought that sounded very Irish (love the spelling too). And yesterday when I was on a Dublin walking tour our guide was named Ailbhe (she spelled it out loud) which might be the most Irish feminine name I've heard on a real person so far.
So the most Irish feminine and masculine name in your opinion?

Anything not anglicized...
...like Caoimhe, Niamh, or Aoife. I don't really like Irish names because many of them (particularly Aidan and Liam) have become overused jokes.

Liam's not irish
Since when?
When I picture a quintessentially Irish name, it has to be Sean for me.
Cionnfhaoladh (KEN-ah-lee)
Ow...
My eyes just crossed, lol.
I am one of those people who just CANNOT comprehend or even try to pronounce Irish names. So beyond me! haha.

Most Irish name I can think of? Saoirse. The spelling, the meaning, the pronunciation, everything about it is very, very Irish.
When we lived in Australia, my daughter had a friend who had immigrated from Ireland. Her name was Eimear. I had never heard the name before, and haven't met anyone else with it since. I can't say I care for it, but it's the most Irish name I've run across on a real person.
I think the more amount of seemingly unnecessary letters it has, the more Irish it looks. So like Caoilfhionn and Toirdhealbhach. :)
