    Question Favorite Irish(ish) Names for girls?

    I've become a little obsessed with Irish ( and Anglicized irish names)...

    Current Favorites are Adair and Bridget!

    What are yours?
    boys names drive me crazy!

    Cara, Orla, Moira, Siobhan, Roisin, Siofra, Una and Finvola. Aisling too, if I could pronounce it the way I want to.

    Maeve hands down. Not only my favorite Irish name but my favorite girl's name for the past three years. I just think it's so gorgeous. I can't get over it. I love saying that name and hope someday soon to have a daughter I can call that.

    I love Aisling, Laoise, Caoimhe and Saoirse. Aisling sounds so fantasy-ish but is a legit name, and Laoise and Saoirse have a beauty and air of elegance to them, while Caoimhe is elegant. However, I'm not an ounce Irish, and it the Angelisiced versions of Ashling, Leesha and Seersha don't hold the same beauty. Kiva and Keeva might work, though.

    I also like Maeve and Alana, which are fairly easy for the American tongue, so it is an option.

    Other names:
    Aine
    Ciara and Keira
    Aileen/Eileen
    Muriel
    Erin
    Caitlin
    Deirdre

    I'm not a huge fan of Irish-ish names for girls, but I love them for boys. Erm, I love:

    Niamh (although I don't really love it on its own, but I have been loving Genevieve nn Niamh/Evie lately!)
    Aislinn (would use, except it's way too close to my own name!)
    Caitlin (can't decide if I prefer the American KATE-lin or the Irish KAT-leen/KOYT-leen)
    Fionnabhair (although this is so unusable it's not even funny, haha, but I love it. Said finn-ah-vare)

    I think that's it. I really love Eilidh, too, but that's Scottish, not Irish.
