    I realised what that meant only last week. Bit slow me. :o

    I think 'Hero' for a boy would be deadly.

    "Hero?"
    "That's me!" :D

    "and when a hero comes along ..."
    Mariah


    That's it call him Mariah

    Caílte (or Modern Irish Caoilte)

    In Irish mythology he was a nephew of Fionn mac Cumhail. He could run at remarkable speed and communicate with animals, and was a great storyteller. I believe Caílte was a cousin of Oisín. :)

    Spelled as Caoilte I like this, but I don't like the old Irish spelling. Most people aren't great with fadas and the poor child would be called lost?

    Also, I like simple names Emily, Jack and the likes. I also love French names for a girl Amelie, Anais, Amandine, Claudine

    Siobhan ...Shove-on your knickers, your mothers coming.

    n.b as someone with a sibling in Australia with an Irish name ( not Siobhan ) , she says she often wishes she had an easier to spell name, which non-Irish people would know how to pronounce / spell.

    How about a nice strong boys name like Cuchulainn.

    Your welcome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,854 ✭✭✭Sinfonia


    My kids at the moment are called Aidan and Chloe and we dont know what we are having next.
    Zoe, because it rhymes with Chloe.

    Or Nadia, because it's Aidan backwards.

    Rudy for a boy, Rudy for a girl:)


    Or lucky for a girl


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭MrCreosote


    Asia Piper McIntosh for a girl. Ticks all the boxes

    -good trendy, aspirational names
    -normal word pronounced unusually (Ah-See-Ah)
    -Non-name used as name
    -Excessive use of forenames
    -McIntosh fulfills the "Surname-as-forename" criterion

    Double-barrel the surname and it's perfect.

    It would seem that some say it is as St. Abigail was the patron saint of beekeepers and Deborah is Hebrew for bee.
    Thought that was St. Mologa, or maybe that's just an obscure Irish patron saint.

    Haven't read the whole thread, but has anybody suggested Chlamydia yet?

    I think it's a lovely name for a little girl.....

    But Sally is easier to spell ;)

    How about Jezebel for a girl?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,104 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    I like the names
    India
    Fiona
    Valerie

    for a girl

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
