Re: Some Celtic names, WDYT?
in reply to a message by Catzor
Yeah I'm from Scotland. Well from those names I've seen these on the younger generations:
Aisling
Caoimhe
Carys
Emer
Fiona
Maeve
Niamh (a few times)
Rhiannon
Roisin
Sinead (quite popular here)
Siobhan (same as Sinead)
I would say those are all usable, the other ones on your list I haven't really heard of or met anyone with those names so I can't comment on their usability. But Shelagh and Elspeth which are particularly dated in Scotland might hold a sort of charm if you're from elsewhere. I don't know, but here they are dated in a bad way.
