Re: If you had to choose and Irish name for your daughter (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I love Irish names and I would rather explain how to pronounce them a million times than change the spelling. I just love the traditional spellings, they are so beautiful.
I love:
Áine
Eilidh
Aisling
Caoimhe
Gráinne
I guess I would go with Eilidh. I love the sound, it's so sweet. With Aisling I guess the 'sling' comes out to much (I know it isn't pronounced like that but when I look at it I still see it). I love Áine but I already have a good friend named that. Caoimhe is nice too and I like Gráinne but I would fear that outside of Ireland it would become 'granny'.
