As a lot of you seem to be interested in names of an Irish origin, I thought you might find it interesting to look at a "represtative sample" of 18-20 year olds that I live with in the flat (yes, I have 7 flatmates).
Aoife - very common. Pronounced
EE-fuh
Emma Jane - said together
Meadhbh - many different spellings, but this is the one she has. Pronounced
Mave
Padraig - Pronounced
PAW-rick also loads of spellings. (mn
Eoin. Pronounced as
Owen)
Nuala - Pronounced
NOO-luh
Peter
Roisin - also very common. Pronounced ROW-sheen (row as in, row your boat)
No revelations here, I know. Just thought you might find it (and I cringe to use this word, but I've used
interesting twice now) neat.
