HelpRe: Very Irish Names
in reply to a message by Megan
Well, for starters, Eanna is a male name.
I think that they would be fine to use in a story, but to use for a real American baby, I don't know. I'd be worried about how people would pronounce them and the poor kid would suffer with such an annoying name...
Out of the names you have listed I like/love*
Ailbhe*
Aoibhe
Eibhlin*
Laoise
Niamh*
Cillian
Eanna
ETA: The pronounciation of Cuan I think is Cu (hard C sound)-Awn. Like yawn without the Y. This is just a guess but the end is definitely "awn" because there's a fhada on the a.
