Hello. We have a little boy, [name_u]Albie[/name_u], and a girly on the way. We like the name [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] but are hoping to come up with a cool middle name for her. We really like [name_f]Laura[/name_f] whitmores wee girls middle name Ré (Irish for moon) and would love a strong/cool Irish one syllable name that gives my hubby a nod to his Irish roots. 
thanks

[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is so so sweet! I adore that name. And it’s delightful with [name_u]Albie[/name_u].

[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Una[/name_f]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]! I’ll just add [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
Aw thanks for suggestions guys!
I should have added, we’re kind of hoping for something quite different and not a traditional “name” as such. [name_m]Just[/name_m] any kind of nice Irish meaning word that would sound nice? We like lots of meanings such as strong, fair, brave etc. But we do also love any ties to the moon or sea if any of that helps.
These are all Irish words, as far as I’m aware only Aoibh is used as a name. They’re not all one syllable but I think they all go well with Bonnie. I still second Ré if you like that though!
I’m not a native speaker so I would check the meanings yourselves too but here’s some suggestions for words-as-names:
Álainn - word for beautiful
Aoibh - word for smile or pleasant expression
Croí - heart
Seoda - a jewel or precious stone
Mian - wish, desire
Sasta - happy
Sona - happy
Brí - meaning, significance / strength, vigor
Saol - life, world
Bláth - flower
Here are some cool Irish word names that I found that would make great middle names for Bonnie!
Meala - m-yalla means honey
Croi - cree means heart
Abhainn - ow-in means river
Éira - ay-rah means Ireland
Sona - sun-a means happy, lucky, fortunate
Taisce - tash-kuh refers to a treasure or dear
locations/symbols of Ireland:
Cashel - after the rock of Cashel in Ireland
Kells - Book of Kells
Carlow - county
Clare - county
Harp/Harper - symbol of ireland
Clover
Personal faves for you are Bonnie Éira & Bonnie Croi.
