HelpRe: Help with an Irish girl name. Please!
in reply to a message by Erin
I recommend going whole-hog and just giving your child something totally out there like Seosaimhthín Aoibheann. But since that's my feeling about Irish names and not yours (and your husband's), I doubt that'll be a popular idea. :-)
Actually, Aoibheann has a nice sound to it. Anglicized it read "Eavan." Argh. I get caught between that proverbial rock and a hard place with Irish names sometimes as well: I like how they sound, but I don't know if I'd be willing to give my child a name that I had to practice writing because I couldn't remember how it was spelled. :-)
My parents went the easiest route and found me a genuine Irish name that wasn't impossible to say or spell: Eilis Caitriona.
