[name_f]Oona[/name_f], [name_f]Iona[/name_f], and [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] are my favourites with [name_f]Mairead[/name_f], but [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] doesn’t really work for me with [name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f] as a middle name.

freehal · March 23, 2018, 9:18am

yeah, I hear you. We might end up shuffling or changing middles depending on what first name we go with.

pacifica · March 23, 2018, 9:44am

My vote went to [name_f]Oona[/name_f] but I also quite like [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] for you.

I think [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is enough Celtic and I think [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_f]Mairead[/name_f] go nicely together.

I actually quite like [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] with [name_f]Mairead[/name_f]!

katinka · March 23, 2018, 1:54pm

[name_u]Love[/name_u] the oomph that [name_f]Oona[/name_f] has!

erin_beth · March 23, 2018, 3:15pm

My favorites for you are [name_f]Oona[/name_f], [name_f]Niamh[/name_f], and [name_f]Iona[/name_f].

Araminty · March 23, 2018, 3:55pm

I adore your daughter [name_f]Mairead[/name_f]'s name! [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] and [name_f]Iona[/name_f] are the standouts for me. Both are beautiful in themselves and would be gorgeous with their sister’s name.

autumnreverie · March 23, 2018, 5:37pm

I love [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Oona[/name_f] and [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f].

mbak · March 23, 2018, 5:58pm

I picked [name_f]Niamh[/name_f], which I love

But also really like [name_f]Iona[/name_f]

I’d also suggest [name_f]Siobhan[/name_f]

reinamorado · March 24, 2018, 11:38am

[name_f]Niamh[/name_f], [name_f]Niamh[/name_f], [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]!

Maerad · March 24, 2018, 11:42am

I knew sisters who were [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] and [name_f]Mairead[/name_f]! Although in this set [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] was the elder sister.
They go so well together! These women are now in their mid-20s so I don’t think it’s a particularly common sibset.

freehal · March 24, 2018, 4:50pm

My husband’s mother’s name is [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] and we feel that [name_f]Siobhan[/name_f] too similar. We’ve received that suggestion a lot so I guess others feel it fits our style too.

freehal · March 24, 2018, 4:50pm

We’ve also considered [name_f]Freya[/name_f] (I should have added that to the poll as well) but worry that it is going to become too popular.

mom3 · March 25, 2018, 2:44am

What a great list! I had a hard time deciding but went with [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] as it just sounds so lovely, strong and feminine all in one. [name_f]Oona[/name_f] and [name_f]Iona[/name_f] are also nice, as is [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] & [name_f]Ines[/name_f]. GL

kimbarain · March 25, 2018, 5:51pm

I chose [name_f]Oona[/name_f], because I know a cute little Irish baby with that name. I do like [name_f]Ines[/name_f] and [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] too.

amymay327 · March 25, 2018, 5:56pm

[name_f]Oona[/name_f] is adorable!

plutonstars · March 27, 2018, 2:41am

I would choose [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] or [name_f]Iona[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Siobhan[/name_f] or [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] ? They’re nice irish names i think

islandmoon · March 27, 2018, 2:51am

I voted for [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] without seeing that [name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f] is the first middle name, otherwise I like Rosslin the best, though I prefer it spelled [name_f]Roslin[/name_f].
