I couldn't let this sunny St. Patrick's Day slide on by without a post on some of my most favorite names, Irish names! I've got Irish music playing (channel 933 if you have Comcast, sounds of the season channel!) and Irish Soda Bread right out of the oven (I hope someday for smell-o-vision, I could share how heavenly is smells in here!) So lets talk Irish. Conas ata tu? Ok, that's all I know how to say in Irish, it means "how are you?" I'll get back to names.
Some Irish names are ones we hear all the time these days, very popular in the US. Here are a few of those, maybe you didn't know they were Irish?
Aidan Eileen
Aidan Eileen
Sean Erin
Owen Neve
Keegan Quinn
Desmond Kelly
Brian
Connor
So those are some nice Irish names, but I'm kind of a name nerd (ya think?) and I like love the more, well, interesting ones. Not all of these are suited for first first names here in the US, because no one will ever know how to pronounce or spell them, and you don't want that sort of trouble for your kiddo. But that doesn't mean they are super cool names! Here's my faves:
Brennan Ainsley
Ciaran Caoimhe
Declan Ciara
Donovan Deirdre
Doran Fiona
Einri Kiera
Finnegan Liadan
Finley Maeve
Keane Maire
Kelan Naomh
Kieran Rowan
Riordan Saoirse
Rory Siobhan
Seamus
Teague
So many good names! See what I mean though, some of those are pretty tricky to figure out how to pronounce! For example, Saoirse is "seer-sha" and Maire is "My-ree." Both beautiful names, but maybe as a middle name, yes?
Did I miss any of your favorite Irish names? Let me know!
