There's a woman

---

named Berthe living just down the street from me.

I adore the name, but only if pronounced the French way, as you have it. It reminds me of 19th century characters ina novel, living in garrets and falling in love with Eugene ("oo-ZHEN"), Honore' ("on-or-AY") or Auguste ("aw-GOOST").

I actually kind of like Berthe with that prn, but everyone I know would say it like Bertha, and that prn is not pleasing to my ears.

Caoimhe and Niamh are nice, but to be honest, they have such a following here on BtN that I am growing rapidly tired of them. Is Beibhinn prn like Bevin? I don't like it.

Berthe Amelie
Berthe Veronique
Berthe Mathilde
Berthe Anais
Berthe Madeleine
Berthe Catherine
Berthe Yasmin
Berthe Dominique
Berthe Xanthe
Berthe Calla

Caoimhe is my favourite girls name and has been for a bit over a year. It is strong, beautiful and unusual and looks so pretty written down, has a great meaning and has great nn potential with Evie. I love it.
Niamh was my sister's name, and one of my favourites. Beautiful, has a great story behind it and like Caoimhe, it looks really pretty written and said aloud.
Beibhinn isn't a favourite of mine, but it is nice.
