HelpRe: Irish Names
in reply to a message by Greenleaf
1. I like Irish names but hen I grew up in a family where myself and my brothers have Irish names. Same with my husband and his nieces all have Irish names or Celtic names. I live in Ireland incidentally.
There certainly is an Irish name fashion in the States and other English speaking countries at the moment. To be honest some of the more creative "irish" names make me wince. However there are plenty of nice, meaningful Irish names you could use that aren't trendy or made-up and won't date.
There has certainly been a surge in popularity in the use of Irish names in Ireland in the last few years. Sadly the same names are reused over and over again here - if I hear of another baby called Seán I'll cry.
2. Some I like:
Liadán(Lee-a-daun)
Niamh
Róise
Róisín
Macha
Caitríona
Sorcha
Orla
Etáin
Fionnuala
Gormliath
Muireann
Rián
Aoileann
Gráinne
Sibeál
Ferdia
Fionn
Oisín
Oscar
Ruairí
Rossa
Aodh
Luán
Donagh
Donnchadh
Briaín
Lughaidh
Dáire
Ruán
ETA a few names
