I'm Irish, my partner is Dutch. We considered calling our daughter Eimear. In her dialect it would have been like calling her "bucket".
We opted for a different name ;)

- sjf 6y agoThe Irish name selection on this site is totally bogus. Apparently Cody, Jacqui, and Kelsi are Engish & Irish feminine names. Those are not even Hiberno-English names. https://mixedname.com/english_irish_feminine_names https://mixedname.com/english_irish_feminine_names
- bemmu 6y agoMy approach was to Google things like “Irish names” and add names coming up on such lists. Do you know of a good source I should use instead?
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoThe trouble with that is that "Irish" name lists are often written by Irish-Americans, rather than Irish people. For instance, you would often see names like Cailin, or Erin in American-Irish (they mean girl, and Ireland respectively) names, but these would be incredibly uncommon in Ireland itself.
