You mean names in the Irish language, Gaeilge. This is why they sound so different from the way they look to an English speaker.





I personally like the name Bl谩thnaid for a female although some people from other countries find it difficult to pronounce. I would pronounce it "Blah-nid" but this could differ depending on your accent. The name comes from the Irish word bl谩th meaning flower. Some say it's the Irish language equivalent to Florence.

Reply:Niamh (NEE_uv) is pretty rare. So is Mairead (muh-RADE). Cillin (KILL-een) is good for boys, as is Dara (sounds like it's spelled in this case, though if you really want a tough spelling it's easy enough to find). Caitlin is nice if you pronounce it the actual Irish way, which is more like cawt-LEEN than KATE-lin.

Siobh谩n (shuh-vawn)


Meadhbh (mave)


Aisling (ash-ling)


Aoife (ee-fuh)





Oh, and it's spelled Saoirse :)
Reply:bridget. unlike saorise (which sounds nothing like seer-shu) people will pronounce it properly for the rest of her life.
