I meant to vote for [name_f]Sadhbh[/name_f] but the screen jumped and I landed on [name_f]Aine[/name_f] by mistake. If I could’ve voted for two though those would’ve been the two!

I love both Órla and Áine! I adore all the names on your list, but especially those two. They just sound so sweet but also sturdy at the same time, they’re perfect. I also love their meaning, Irish names always seem to have the most amazing meanings, don’t they?

Áine and Órla were close but I had to go with the lovely [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f], such an underappreciated name!

Thanks to everyone who voted! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I’m really torn between Órla, [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] and Áine myself. :sweat_smile:

@skylerros [name_m]Hi[/name_m]

So here’s the list (Irish names can be tricky as they don’t sound like how they look!) depending where the speaker is from also different. So here’s how I say them!

Órla - [name_u]Or[/name_u]-la - means golden princess
Áine - awn-ya - the goddess of love and queen of the fairies
[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] - depends where you are from but I would say sir-i-ka - means light
[name_f]Sadhbh[/name_f] - sive like the number 5 - means sweetness
[name_f]SinĂ©ad[/name_f] - shin-aid - similar to [name_f]Jane[/name_f] in [name_f]English[/name_f] meaning “god’s gift”
