HelpRe: 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 think it's useable, and it's a bit more interesting than Sheila.
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.
Well, I'm not a huge fan of the category, since they're so hard to spell and pronounce and sometimes look a bit tacky in the Anglicized spelling (though in some cases it's much better to anglicize, makes life easier). This said, there's a few I like, such as Saoirse, Siobhan and NiAamh.
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?
In today's multicultural world, I don't think it's too bad.
