Hello everyone,
I am new here. I love Irish names.
This is a new favourite from Irish mythology. Clíodhna is the original spelling, Clíona is an alternative. She was turned into a wave in mythology.
It is pronounced klee-uh-na.
What are your thoughts? Hope I am getting some answers on my Irish names too, on other boards people don’t seem to care for them at all.
Thank you.
I haven’t heard this one before but I think it’s really lovely!
welcome to nameberry!
i’m happy to meet a fellow lover of irish names!! aoife and orla are my favorites for a girl, currently 
i’ve never heard of clíona, but it is gorgeous! it feels mystical and whimsical and strong. i think I’d use the clíona spelling just because it’s a little easier to pronounce that way.
overall, lovely name. thank you for sharing! 
Thank you so much!
I love the names associated with mythology so Clíodhna is a new favourite. I hadn’t discovered it previously.
[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] is so beautiful! I also like [name_f]Orla[/name_f].
love love love clíodhna! i’m a huge fan of irish names, particularly irish mythological names. i prefer the clíodhna spelling, but both are really lovely 
I have had Clíona/Clíodhna on my list for quite some time! I love it.
Agree with this, although I alternate between the two spellings.
Likewise!
i’ve never seen clíodhna, but i love it! it has a very bouncy, clear sound which i adore. i prefer the clíodhna spelling.
my favorite irish mythology names are [name_f]áine[/name_f], aoife, éadaoin, eithne, sadhbh, and then my number one, meabh!
Oh my, someone likes Éadaoin! I am so happy. It is currently one of my favourites. I know that it is the more modern form of Étaín but I slightly prefer the sound of Éadaoin is is so lovely!
I love all of the others you listed as well but my favourites are Éadaoin, [name_f]Sadhbh[/name_f], [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] and Áine.
I also like [name_f]Meadhbh[/name_f]. I like the spelling you listed too.
I really like [name_f]Cliodhna[/name_f] - it has a sparky and bright sound, mystical and interesting
i really like Clíodhna! I would use that spelling as it’s the original (ithink, correct me if im wrong)
i love irish names too! my favourite is grainne 
Yes I like the original Clíodhna best too
Very beautiful, though I do find pronunciation (from the written name) difficult given that I don’t speak/read Irish. I came across the [name_f]Cliona[/name_f] spelling a while back and thought it would be like [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] with a “C”! Oops!
