WDYT, and what are good sibling names? Is this name too Irish? I have an affinity for Irish/Gaelic names.

I like it. I don't think it's too Irish- it's easier to pronounce than a lot of other Irish names, and I think people would get the whole "Ea" thing because it's the same in Eamon...
Saoirse (sister) and Cinaed (brother) were some siblings I thought of.
I don't think it's too Irish itself, but it's Irish enough that the sibling names would also have to be Irish, IMO.

I like it! I'm one of a few people around here who do, it seems. I love Irish names too, and I think this is one that could be pulled off in some place such as the US.
Sibling names are kind of hard. I guess something Irish but that would also be manageable outside of Ireland:
Ciarán
Connor
Dáire
Diarmaid
Oisín
Seamus
Sean
Bridget
Finola
Fiona
Honora
Nora
Máire
Maura
Maureen
Morna

I love those names, esp Morna.

I have always wanted to go to Ireland, but the thing I've got against Irish names is that I can never figure out how to pronounce them. Lol. Like the actress Saoirse Ronan? I had always thought it was "Say-ORSE." Then I discovered that it's "SEER-sha." WTF, in my opinion. As to whether or not Eanna is too Irish.... Well, I just looked it up, and I guess the pronunciation isn't too left-of-center, so no. I think I sort of like it. It's pretty.
As for sibsets:
Telfalathiel posted a message a few days ago asking for opinions on Scarlet and Jasper as a sibset; I think that's adorable.
I always thought that if I ever had a girl, I'd name her Adeline or Adelaide, and the boy would be Felix. I don't know if these names even sound really good together; they aren't even my favorite names. I just thought they were interesting, but not too weird. :)

Just checking
Eanna is a masculine name. You called it pretty, so I thought maybe you thought it was feminine.
And also, I believe she was asking for the names of siblings to go with Eanna, not just sibsets in general.

Ohh. Whoopsie. My mind is real slow sometimes. Lol. I looked up Eanna, but I completely overlooked the fact that it was masculine. Oops. Personally, I think I like it better as a feminine name. Lol. As for the sibsets for Eanna--wow, I guess I just screwed my whole response up. Lol. Oops. And now that I read the post again, it's very obvious. Lol.

I would NEVEREVEREVER name a son Eanna!
And it's ok. Like Llewella said, it happens! :) I'd still be interested in suggestions for siblings of Eanna(a GIRL Eanna!)

Pronouncing it Ay na does make a difference!

It sounds perfectly masculine to me. In Irish -a isn't a feminine ending.

How is it pronounced?

It says when you look it up. AY-na.
Lol next time you should look at the sex, pronunciation, meaning, history, entomology, and language of origin when you come across a name you've never heard of on here. It's all on here. It's not wise to rush into affection for a strange or foreign name for how it's written without knowing anything about it. Otherwise me might get little girls named Lucifer nn Lucy. Irish Gaelic names are usually pronounced differently than many would expect. Just a piece of advice.
