I think we have our names sorted. They're basically the ones we didn't use the last time.
Boy's name has Always been and will Always be Tadhg (we both agree) but don't think we're ever going to have a boy so it's a moot point really.
Runner up names last time were: Grainne (I love but my husband says no), Muireann, Beibhinn (bay-veen), Una, Maeve
(I can't do fadas coz on a foreign keyboard by the way)
So we'll use one of them for this babby unless another irish name takes my fancy.......
My girl is called Maeve
she's almost 5 months old and it so suits her. One thing that still amazes me to this day is people's reaction to her name. I suppose it's one of those names that's not quite as common but so far everyone else has loved it too
Also love muireann and beibhinn! And tadhg was one of our boys manes too0 -

Wow we have identical taste :-)
I'm only 13 weeks and Hubby started asking me about names the other day I told him I have no idea. I've realised with him that giving a long time for discussion of a name only means he'll probably over-rule it. Better to wait til after childbirth then he won't argue with me!
:D
What do you mean by the reaction to Maeve? What kind of reaction?0 -

Sounds like you have him well sussed
A really good reaction. People love the name and always compliment on how nice it is. It flows really well with her surname. A few people have mentioned how you don't hear that name being used all that much any more and that its nice to hear it. Someone told me they thought it's a lovely, elegant name 0 -

Wow!
I almost called my dd Maeve and I definitely don't get that kind of glowing reaction to what I did call her. I do get some compliments.......but more often I get confusion about how to pronounce it and this is from irish people (it's an irish name and not very common)
At least with the fame of Maeve Binchy you're never going to meet an irish person that can't pronounce Maeve!0 -

We had Katie, Lucy, Ellen and then Willow. I've gone through just about every oldish fashioned girl's name, OH hates them all!0 -

Gosh you've your work cut out for you alright!
My husband is gas, he's one or two firm vetos but after that he's easy going, kind of happy to leave it to me although he did pick our daughters name.
We've Conor for a boy from last time and will probably go with that if we have a boy. Girl wise I haven't a clue, think they are so much harder than boys!0 -
