Re: What are your favourite Irish names?
in reply to a message by rooster
Brennan, Brody, Cian / Keane, Ciaran / Kieran, Cillian, Colin, Cormac, Declan, Donal, Donnell ((part of my maiden name)), Donovan, Eamon, Eoghan / Owen, Eoin, Lorcan, Mannix, Oisin, Riordan, Ronan, Rory, Rowan, Seamus, Tadhg / Teague
Ailis, Aine, Aoibhe, Aoife, Catriona, Caoilinn / Keelin, Caoimhe / Keavy, Ciara / Kiera, Cliona, Deirdre, Fionnuala, Grainne, Liadan, Maeve, Maire / Moira, Roisin, Saoirse, Sheila
In a perfect world I would have many more of these on my "usable favorites" list but in the US many would be butchered or stuffed into the "trendy spelling" list by some. So, I either have come to like the Anglicized versions or sadly have taken them off the usable list.
