Re: Irish Names
in reply to a message by Constant
I used to love Connor as a name, but a really terrible association has put me off the name.
For Irish girls' names, I have a soft spot for Brigit, spelled this way (Bridget is "bridge" with a 't' on the end). I also like:
Alannah
Aoife
Bláthnat (ultimate GP for me)
Caitria
Deirdre (was in my Top 10 at one point)
Erin
Fiona
Líadan
Maeve
Mavourneen
Muriel (Anglicized from Muirgel)
Nessa
Niamh
Saorise
For boys, I like:
Alastar (though I prefer the spelling Alistair, which is Scottish)
Brendan
Colin
Cormac
Declan
Desmond
Donovan
Doran
Finn
Kieran (Anglicized from Ciarán)
Liam
Lochlann (though I prefer the spelling Lachlan, which is Scottish)
Murdoch
Murrough (reminds me of William S. Burroughs)
Owen
Riordan
Ronan
Sean
Torin
Even though I just posted quite a few names, and I love Irish culture... I'm more partial to Welsh names, actually.
Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):
