Re: Popular Irish Girls Names
in reply to a message by Glitzy Cate
As someone of Irish heritage (several generations Canadian, though), I still have to say I scratch my head at a lot of Irish names. I can't even begin to pronounce many of these. But I do like:
Erin - probably a bit nostalgic on my part, as this was a relatively common (but not overused) name of girls in my general area growing up. I think of a practical girl with freckles.
Orla - sort of feels like it should be a nickname for some reason, but it's pretty nonetheless.
Ciara - my favourite from this list; I love it! :) Very strong and with a sharp sort of sparkle.
Aisling - perhaps due to its popularity, I've actually learned how to pronounce this one! And the pronunciation is gorgeous! Such a soft, gentle name.
