[Opinions] Re: WDYT of the names I came across in Irish class today?
(I can't do the accents on this computer and it's driving me nuts!)Maire (Mary) is very nice. I like it as well as the Scots Gaelic Mairi.Sean (John) has never really appealed to me much. Aoife (Eva, Eva) is a gorgeous name, one that I've considered putting on list of favourites.Seamus (James) is handsome, but I prefer the Scottish Hamish.Sile (Sheila) is very, very nice! I even like this spelling better than the traditional Sheila.Mairead (Margaret) is not veyr appealing to my own ears.Seoirse (George) is ok, but not something I'd use. I'd be more apt to use the similarly spelled Saoirse for a girl.____
