HelpRe: If you had to choose and Irish name for your daughter (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I assume by "without changing the spelling" you mean "no anglicization".
TBH I don't like many Irish names; I don't like names that are difficult to spell and I don't like the sound of many of them anyway (I don't love many anglicized ones either, I think I'm burned out on Americans who say "We named him Riley because we're 1/32 Irish!") . DH is always shooting down names I like because they don't "sound good" with his 'Irish' surname. I don't think he knows what an Irish name would even look like though-- his whole proud-to-be-Irish family all have English names.
If forced, probably Niamh. If anglicization is allowed, Maeve. I do really like Maeve.
