From Babynamesofireland.com, the pron. of Clodagh is "CLOE-da". The river Clody runs through County Tipperary and County Wexford and like most Irish rivers is named for a local female deity. Rivers become places for prayer and Clodagh is a popular name in this part of the country.

---

My favorite Irish/Gaelic names are:
Aislin, Niamh, Aine, Catriona, Eibhlin, and Maebh.

I think I've seen this in my Irish names book and I'd say cloh-duh because I think the -gh are silent. I think it's rather nice, I don't think I'd use it but it is unique.

---

My favorite Irish names are Ciaran, Aodhan and Eithne. I adore Irish names in general, especially Gaelic spellings! :)

I LOVE Irish names. It must be my half-Irish side coming into light.
