Because everyone else has one...
We have no idea of names for a girl. If we have a boy we're going with Eamon David (David is dad's name), so that's easy. We were wanting an Irish name, but all of the ones that I've suggested DH has said no to. We have a friend called Charlotte, which he would approve of (and I love!), but we can't call our baby that because I think she'll be around our family for a long time and I'll take the chance that she will be. A friend's 4yo suggested Reedon (as in, Reed-n) which we haven't ruled out, so can you suggest some names for us please? First and middle names, and to go with Declan Peter. Thank you!

Which names has your DH turned down? Irish names I love for girls are Roisin (Rosheen), Maeve, Aisling (Ashling), Emer, Caoimhe (Keeva), Niamh (Neve), Quinn, Saoirse (Seersha), and Talulla. Good luck It can be so hard settling on a name when there's more than one person deciding!

I've bolded the ones he's said no too, and there was others too if I were to pull up the Irish names website. The other ones you listed aren't my style, so I haven't suggested them. Thanks anyway!

What a shame he doesn't like Roisin. What about Aoife or Erin? Ed - to add Erin This post has been edited by Cranky Old Woman: 20/02/2012, 07:15 PM
