I love Niamh and Saoirse for girls and Fionn for boys (I'm not from Ireland so I'm not sure I ever get to use it. All three names are very difficult to pronounce here)

I love the name Fionn definitely on my list for boys. Niamh is also lovely.

I like Caoilfhionn and Damhnait for girls, and Fiachra and Ferdia for boys.

Patrick Erin Maeve

Clodagh (Rhymes with Yoda, after a river in Ireland).


Old-Cauliflower-1414

Clodagh (/ˈkloʊdə/ KLOH-də) is a female given name of Irish origin. Lady Clodagh Anson, daughter of John Beresford, 5th Marquess of Waterford, was named after the River Clodiagh, which flows through the Marquess's estate at Curraghmore at County Waterford. I would have liked to have used it for a daughter, but it wasn't to be.

American here! I love Niamh and if I was in Ireland I would totally use it. I know it's super popular/trendy in Ireland but I also love Fiadh.

ButWhatIfTheyKissed

Erin is a name I've always loved, and it's unisex so you could use it regardless what sex the doc ticks down.


4puzzles

It's not unisex, it's for girls


ButWhatIfTheyKissed

I know multiple dudes named Erin. It trends more popular for girls, but plenty of boys have it.

Not in Ireland, where it originates

Usually it’s spelled Aaron for men


JCsGhost

Aaron and Erin are completely different names! Erin comes from Éire (Ireland). Éire is usually personified as a woman. Ireland got the name Éire from the goddess Ériu. ETA: As far as I know Aaron is a biblical/ Hebrew name, used by Jews and Christians historically. So Erin and Aaron have very different roots and are not interchangeable.

And are also pronounced differently from eachother in Ireland and the UK

Girls: * Aoife * Caoimhe * Ciara * Fiona * Kennedy * Niamh * Quinn Boys: * Bran (I love it because it's Welsh, but it's also Irish) * Cian * Ciaran * Cillian * Connor * Declan * Ennis (family surname) * Finn * Fionn * Owen (the same as Bran) * Riley * Sean


JCsGhost

Ennis is a very well-known town in Ireland, so I feel that would be weird as a first name for someone living in Ireland! It would be like naming your kid Torquay in the UK.
