I’m really liking
Aoife and
Saoirse at the moment. They sound so soft but strong.
Saoirse also makes me think of seashells and that’s not a bad association really. I don’t think I could ever use them even though both my parents have irish in them, because people find them so difficult to pronounce. I also found a really interesting irish name today -
Alastríona! It’s very long but very pretty IMO. Reading this back I realised I don’t like so many irish boy names (aside from
Niall and the common
Patrick which is a family name for me). Scottish names I like are
Lauchlan, Naoirse and
Douglas.
