Re: Shelagh, plus your favorite Irish names
in reply to a message by BrilliantBlue
1. WDYTO Shelagh, prn. the same as Sheila? If you associate it with a time period, which one? Is it usable?: I'm not a fan, it looks very dated to me. There was a girl in my class in high school called Sheelagh and she hated it, regarded it as an 'old lady name' as I recall!
2. What are your favorite Irish names? If you feel so inclined, include pronunciation, since my forte is Hebrew. =P I'm definitely into the really Irish names ATM, however: I like Roisin (ro-SHEEN), Siobhan (shi-VAWN), Bronagh (BRO-nagh), Caoimhe (KEE-va) and Saoirse (SEER-sha).
3. Would it be weird to see a really Irish name (i.e., Aoife or Siobhan) on a Jewish baby of mostly Russian/Polish descent? Weird to pair it with a Hebrew/Jewish name?: Not really, its your choice after all... and besides it would definitely look more normal than Makynzie or whatever tryndee name is 'in' at the moment!
