What is your favourite Irish first name ?

I like Irish first names (I'm not Irish by the way)


My favourite ones are Seamus, Padraig and Cormac for boys and Niamh, Siobhan and Sinead for girls. Do you have an Irish first name yourself? Which ones do you prefer?

What is your favourite Irish first name ?
I like Kieran, for either a boy or a girl. I am also fond of the name Declan for a boy. I also like "Eamon" (Simon) for a boy.





I am with you on Siobhan. I had a friend in high school named Siobhan. We used to sing this song to her: "If you think it's butter, but it's not! It's Siobhan!"





I had another friend with a daughter named Siobhan, and we used tosing the Crewcuts song "Shh-boom" to her: "Siobhan! Siobhan! Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!"

If he'd been a girl he'd have been called Niamh

Reply:My name is Aoife. Can't believe someone spelled it wrong earlier. A-O-I-F-E every vowel except u!! All my family have irish names and i will insist on it for my children when the time comes!! I love Saoirse. It means freedom. I like Eimear aswel. Nicer spelling than Emer.

Reply:I first saw the name Siobhan (pronounced, shuh-VAUGHN, if I'm not mistaken) when I was in Ireland many years ago. This was the name of our tour guide; a porcelain-skinned, dark haired beauty who told us all about the castles and the Shannon River. I'm also partial to Aislinn, Aidan, Connell, Conor (as in King Conor McNessa), Dhomnhaill, Maggie, Megan.


Not so much Brefne.


There are probably more, but this is off the top of me head.

I don't particularily like the sound of it, but I love the spelling, and whenever I see it I'm reminded of an awsome joke I've once seen on the Vicar of Dibley:





-What's your name?


-Aiofe


-How do you spell that?


-a-i-o-f-e


-Oh. Didn't leave any vowels for the rest of us.
