Re: WDYT of these Irish names?
in reply to a message by Caelesti
Aislinn - (pronounced ASH-lin) It's ok, I prefer Aisling
Brenna - nice
Caoilinn - nice
Cassidy - dislike, don't like surnames as first names in general
Faine - like Fainne
Fionna, Fiona - love Fiona
Lasairiona (La-sar-EE-na )nn Lasara/Lasaira, Saira - nah, too over the top for me
Maeve /Meadhbh - Meadhbh is ok
*Muriel / Muirgheal - hate them both, love Muirne though
Sadbh SIVE (or Siv/Sif which is Scandinavian) - Sadhbh is one of me least favourite names! Don't like Siv either, sorry
Saoirse SEER-sha - love it
Saorla SAYR-la - love it lots
Siobhan-shah-VAHN - ok, a bit dated here
Siomha- SHEE-va - ok
*Taillte- TAL-tyeh - doesn't really sound like a name
Catriona - Caitriona is ok
Niamh - (pronounced NEE-uv or NEEV) it's ok but I have bad associations with it
