Irish girl names?

bunnymama625

We are having the worst time picking a name!

DH would like it to be "irish" sounding- we have a very "irish" last name and his full name couldn't sound more stereotypical if he tried- which goes with the red hair and freckles

Only condition I have is that it not be a name no one here would be able to pronounce- I suppose we are looking for more "irish-american" names. Middle name will be Marie or Maria (tradition on my side of the family)

Only ones ruled out:

Shannon (DH didn't like)

Erin (I have a cousin with that name)

Mary (DH's entire family is filled with Marys- 5 that I can think of without trying)

Kathleen (DH's aunt who would NOT be flattered...)

 

Other than that, open to suggestions!!!

Love Deirdre and Maeve

Bridget and Orla are my favorites, I think.

For whatever reason, every Irish-American girl I knew growing up was named Patricia.

I know someone that named her girls Ireland and Avleane. I think both are beautiful Irish names

After St. Patrick, I presume?
