Re: Some Irish Names, A-F
Excellent! What's the site?These are all my taste. I say some of these a bit different. For example -ne is usually -na rather that -nee and -re is -ra. I say Cathmhaol - Cah-vel rather than KOH-vel - this is probably a difference in accent?I like particularly -
Fodhla - has long been a favourite
Fionnmhaith
Fiadhnait(I like Fiadh too - Fee-a) discovered it recently
Dearlú - lovely
Aibhne - I say EEV-na
Aibhgréine
Aghna - I have seen this on a shop somewhere - I like the look rather than the sound. It's I-na rather than EE-na. Of all the names on the list I think it's the only one I have seen Anglicized and in use. It was popular in my mother's generation.
Ainfean - great meaning
Fionnlú
Daigre - I say Day-ra
Accobhrán
Amargein - have liked this for years
Eolann
Flannacha
Faoiltiarn
Caomhulú
Not on the list but it popped into my head - Fóinse - Fyinn-sha. It means fountain or source. It used to be the name of an Irish language newspaper so I am not sure if it's usable.
