I need some interesting but easy to pronounce Irish names...

Question

I'm trying to find unique Irish/Gaelic names. I've run across most of the same ones on every baby page, and the other ones seem like they'd be too difficult to pronounce and the child would grow up correct people on the pronounciation of his/her name.

Answer 1

What about Roisin (Row-sheen) for a girl?

Answer 2

Michael, Aidan, Charlie, Molly,

Answer 3

Clare

Answer 4

Cillian

Deirdre

Cian

Bridget

Alistair

Allan

Cameron-both

Answer 6

Caitlin (pronounced Kate-lynn) is an Irish name meaning Pure pair it of with the French name Belle, it means beauty, together

Caitlin Belle means Pure Beauty

Answer 7

Kaitlyn and Liam (which is the Irish form of William)

Answer 8

Catriona (kay-tre-on-nah) is one I've always loved for a girl.

Aldwin for a boy

Gyrth

Grainne (gron-nyeh) for a girl

Diarmuid (like Dermot)

If you look up Gaelic or Celtic tales (mythology/lore), you can find many ... I know a tale of Grainne which is how I know of her name.  Diarmuid's name is also linked to hers in a tale as well.

Answer 10

Aislyn (ace-lyn) I think it means dream-my friend just named her baby girl that.

Answer 11

check babynamesofireland, you may be able to find some there. Most of the more popular ones are fairly easy to pronounce or have anglicized spellings. Caitlin, Eileen, Liam, Aidan.

FYI~ Aislyn is not an Irish Gaelic name. It is an anglicized variation of the gaelic name Aislin/Aislinge both pronounced ASH-LEENG.

Answer 15

I'll try to give you some easy to pronounce ones, and some a bit harder. I;m not sure which ones will look easiest to you.

Boys:

Liam - "lee-uhm"

Seán

Cillian -"killian". The traditional way is with the "c", but people also spell it with the "k" and that might be easier for you

Cian - "key-in". Again, it can also be spelled with the "k" if you want

Ciarán - "keerawn". The anglicised version is "kieran"

Fionn - pronounced like "yun" with an "f" in front

Naoise - "neesha"

Eoghan/Eoin - both pronounced like the name Owen

Girl:

I think this is going to be harder...

Aifric - "ah-frik". Not too common in Ireland.

Maedhbh/Maebh is pronounced "Mayve" and can be spelled "Maeve" if you want.

Ciara - "keera".

Aisling - Ashling

Orla - "oar-lah"

Cara

Hope these help
