any irish here that can help me with names?

[lillprutten]

I want some help with rare irish names but that shouldnt be too difficult to pronounce, i have checked several websites but either it seems to be the most common names showing up or names that noone except native irish could pronounce
help highly appreciated

Check out some books. You can find some really cheap on barnesandnoble.com in the used section (like...a dollar) Search somethign like "gaelic baby names" We sell them in my Soprite...but I think that's just because my whole town and everything in it is Irish hahaha.

The most common ones are things like Mary, Siobhan (shi-von) Deidre (de-dra), Caitlin, Sorcha Tracy-Ann.... For boys I see a lot of Brian, Ryan, Declan, Mike (duh), David...

If you need more help, let me know. Like I said, I'm Irish and come from an extreamly Irish neighborhood. Good luck!

I'm not so sure on spellings but names I liked while visiting were Grania, Aisling, Maraid. For boys Padraig?

 

[lillprutten]

I'll def check up on the Maraid name!
If I lived in Ireland I would name the baby Caoimhin if it was a boy but living here the pronounciation would be too difficult for Swedish people
