I need a baby name irish or scottish?

i was going my girl sawyer (soy-er) but somepeople have said its not good for a little girl. so i wanted something irish or scottish thats soft and sweet also pretty have any ideas?

I need a baby name irish or scottish?
Most of these names aren't even Irish/ Scottish. They are either foreign names or they are Anglisized versions of Gaelic names and bad ones at that. My advice is to go and buy a book of Celtic/ Gaelic names from a book store that would list the real original name and its meaning.





Most of those sites on the internet list names such as:





Erin, Shawn, Coleen, Cathleen





These are NOT Irish names.


The correct spelling is:





脡ire, Se谩n, Cail铆n, Caitl铆n





However only two of those fit for names: Caitl铆n and Se谩n. The other two are not:





"脡ire" means "Ireland" and "Cail铆n" means "girl". Would you name your child these things? I don't think so.





PS: Lft Trn has some nice names listed.


PPS: Shannon comes from An tSionainn which is the longest river in Ireland. Why would you name your child after a river? :-s


PPPS: Siobhan is spelled Siobh谩n
Reply:Cait Sawyer


Shannon Sawyer


Colleen Sawyer
Reply:I really like the name Sawyer, but if you're looking for another name, I have a really great friend by the name of Niamh (we pronounce it Neeve). I believe it's Irish. I've always liked it. It's different and sweet sounding to me.

Reply:piimashokolaad is right. Listen to her. It annoys me when people say that names like Madison or Colleen are Irish names. Nobody in Ireland is called these names.
