Hey all, what are some of your favorite Irish names for both boys & girls?
[name_m]Cillian[/name_m], [name_f]Eileen[/name_f], [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]!
Cuan, [name_u]Tiernan[/name_u], Rua, [name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m], [name_m]Eoin[/name_m], [name_m]Senan[/name_m], [name_f]Aine[/name_f]
I love [name_u]Aidan[/name_u], [name_m]Declan[/name_m], [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_m]Cillian[/name_m], [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m], [name_m]Desmond[/name_m], and [name_m]Seamus[/name_m] for a boy! I’m sure there are more but those are my favorites. I’m much pickier about girls’ names from [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], and love [name_f]Aislinn[/name_f], [name_f]Niamh[/name_f], Fionnabhair (finn-a-vare, if I’m remembering correctly), and [name_f]Aileen[/name_f] (I don’t like how it looks, but I love the sound of ay-leen!).
I much prefer Scottish girls’ names, unfortunately. (I adore [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], Lilidh, [name_f]Esme[/name_f]–which is honestly [name_m]French[/name_m], but has use in [name_f]Scotland[/name_f] after the [name_m]Norman[/name_m] Invasion, to my understanding.)
