I am struggling to find a girl name for our next girl. We use Irish names, so I do feel a bit pigeonholed into that, but I could be open to other short, unique vintage names. Considering Mealla (Mella) , Orla or Niamh (Neev). Would love to hear other ideas, mostly Irish! Our last name is Frederick.
Also, which is your favorite of the three?
- Niamh Frederick
- Orla Frederick
- Mealla Frederick
[name_u]Liam[/name_u], [name_m]Eamon[/name_m], and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is a lovely set of sibling names!! Both Mealla and [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] are great choices – Mealla is a new one to me and I really like it!
I would suggest…
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiadh[/name_f] (not sure about alliteration with your surname? I like it but I know it’s not everyone’s taste)
[name_f]Ciara[/name_f]
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]
[name_f]Aine[/name_f]
[name_f]Aisling[/name_f]
[name_f]Enya[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Nuala[/name_f]
[name_f]Oona[/name_f]
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
I love your kids’ names! [name_f]My[/name_f] sister & brother in law have six kids with [name_u]Irish[/name_u] names, & two of them are [name_u]Liam[/name_u] & [name_m]Eamon[/name_m].
And [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is just one of my absolute favorites too.
Anyway, onto the new baby! [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] is my favorite. It’s so sleek & smart but also has a little pixie vibe. Mealla/Mella kind of just reminds me of the word mealy, so I don’t know if I like it. [name_f]Orla[/name_f] is a name that I can’t get into, but I think that I should like it. It’s perfectly nice & different.
Sorry for any repeats, but how about…
[name_f]Aoibhe[/name_f]
[name_f]Aine[/name_f]

[name_f]Ciara[/name_f]
[name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f]
[name_f]Colleen[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] dog’s name!
Isla-really popular, but so pretty.
Kathleen…I love this for the nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_f]Maire[/name_f]
Nuala!!!
Nora…I think that counts as [name_u]Irish[/name_u]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. 
I love @EagleEyes suggestion of [name_f]Roisin[/name_f]!

I love [name_f]Siobhan[/name_f].
I adore [name_f]Orla[/name_f] - charming, beautiful in meaning, and fits well with your kids. I think it’s easy to say and familiar enough that it works really well!

[name_f]Orla[/name_f] is so pretty! Maybe [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f] or [name_f]Aoife[/name_f]?
I’d also suggest [name_f]Ciara[/name_f] (Keira) or [name_f]Gillian[/name_f]! (Jillian)
