Thoughts on Neasa?

Neasa: Meaning, origin and history of the name Neasa - Behind the Name.

I’m struggling to complete my list, and find a suitable sister to [name_f]Aoibheann[/name_f] (nn Evie). [name_f]My[/name_f] mother loves [name_f]Naoise[/name_f], which is a unisex name, but traditionally a male name. I’d love to give my children a name influenced by my mother. [name_f]Naoise[/name_f] is lovely, but I feel Neasa is more feminine while still being similar. Nicknames would be [name_f]Essie[/name_f], NiNi, etc

How is Neasa said?

Nyeh-sa? Ni-assa? [name_f]Nessa[/name_f]? Nez-uh? Something else? I keep seeing it expressed differently!

I like the look of it and it feels meaningful to you!

I like [name_f]Naoise[/name_f] too

It’s dealer’s choice tbh. I’ve heard it pronounced Nee-sa, N-aye-sa, Nee-sha, Nee-a-sa, etc. I’d probably go with Nee-sa as the pronunciation
