HelpRe: Ireland
in reply to a message by Billina
I actually like it. I like the way it sounds.
And sorry, first commenter, I think Ireland is infinitely better than Erin. I believe that anyone who truly wants a name that reflects pride in their Irish heritage should avoid both Ireland and Erin, as neither is used as a first name in Ireland, and instead go for an authentic Irish name that is actually used as such in Ireland. But if I had to choose, Ireland to me is much easier on the ear than Erin.
