Re: Help with an Irish girl name. Please!
in reply to a message by Erin
Thanks for all the help, everyone!
As I said (or did I?), I am a fan of the more "traditional" Irish names, but I think usually it's a bit much for my poor husband to swallow. :)
I do like Ciara, but have found most people pronounce it "See-are-uh" and I don't think that's how it's actually pronounced, is it? So we'd have the whole pronunciation problem again. I do like Riona- I'll have to add that to the list! And, I still really like Sorcha but when I showed my husband tonight he said "Sorcha?!" (he said it like "sore-sha") and gave me the no way face. Same with Aoife. Darnit!
I'm still most inclined to go with Bridget, but my husband informed me tonight that he doesn't think Bridget Elizabeth "flows" well, when I think it sounds beautiful! That, and he points to that darn movie "Bridget Jones' Diary" for a reason to axe it all together. As if this child will even know that movie by the time she's old enough to know her name! :)
Thanks again, and I continue to welcome any (and all!) opinions. :)
