Favourite Irish Names?

Girl Names
1

I’ve been rewatching Derry Girls as of late and rediscovering my love of Irish Gaelic names, like Orla/Orlaíth, Aoife, etc., but I’d love to hear some suggestions/your favourites :slight_smile:

So, what are your favourite Irish Gaelic names, or which ones would you love to see get more love?

Thanks!

But, I far prefer unusual or obscure Irish names. Some of my favourites are:

Aurnia, Bláthín, [name_f]Bríd[/name_f], [name_f]Ciannait[/name_f], [name_f]Eriu[/name_f], Mealla, [name_f]Piala[/name_f], Searc

Having said that, there’s a ton of Irish boy names I wish got more love:

Ámhra, Cuan, Eanna, [name_m]Fiachra[/name_m], Fionnbharr, Iarla, [name_m]Laoghaire[/name_m], Mughain, [name_u]Naoise[/name_u], Nuada, [name_m]Proinsias[/name_m], [name_m]Seoirse[/name_m], [name_m]Seosamh[/name_m], Setanta
