Irish Baby Boy Names A - C

Thank you so much! That is a great website! And I love that they explain the meaning behind the names.

I am irish and live in NY. When we had our first son, we named him Rory. Now in gaelic it is spelt ; ruairdhi, but as we live here, we figured it would be mangled. So he has the name Rory. In Ireland Rory is more of a boys name ; here its a girls name a lot.
There is no k or x in the irish language. BH is said as a V. Also remember there is a fada ; which is like a sidila or accent in other languages. So Shiobhan is accented on the a. Making it sound like ; shivaun. It means Susan in english.
hope this helped

Actually, , Siobhan is a variant of Jehane, which is traced back to Joan/variant of John/Johannes, and it not at all a variant of Susan. The similar name Sinead also stems from John/Joan, though it developed through Jeanette to become Sinead.

My daughter is having a baby end of June or early July (doc says July 2nd, I say she won't make it out of June )
She likes very unique names.
Can anyone help out here?

Thanks in advance!

How about Aviella? It means ~ My Father is God....

Just happened on here and got engrossed reading all the posts from beginning to end, so... now I've gotta know... WHAT'S THE BABY'S NAME??? Hope all's well, you're all be in my prayers tonight. If by some crazy chance the wee one has yet to arrive, allow me to say...

Using Mitzi as a middle name really narrows down, in my opinion, what can be used for the first name without sounding kinda odd. A couple ideas that came to my mind as I browsed through here that I don't recall seeing were:

MADELYNN (or Madeline... using "Maddie" for short)

OR...

use MITZI as the first name and call her by her "middle" name, as many names would flow much better that way. Example:

MITZI JAZMINE vs. JAZMINE MITZI

Blessings to you!

Why give corporate america one more reason for passing on an applicant? HR is busy. If they can't pronounce the name or they have pre conceived notions about people with kr8tive names--they could move along to the next resume.

Also, alot of these names sound like stipper monikers!

Please stick to the classics. A "different" name can be a liability in the future!

Not much comment on that, was there?

I agree. While a search on "name discrimination" mostly pulls up "black" vs "white" names and how they affect that person's job/housing prospects, I've seen, in the past few years, the impact of "ewe-neek" names in the workplace.

I'm situated near the help desk area in my workplace. I hear many exasperated *sighs* as the help desk workers have to let other calls backlog because they have to get a correct spelling to someone's name, then phonetically spell it out in the ticket so the person who has to work with the issue can call the user back and speak to them. When it's interoffice calls, they have it easier - they just ask for the userid and the system (hopefully) fills in the correct name. The backlash to that is the person with the weird name gets miffed because they are now regarded as "User AB999" rather than their own name. Too bad. In an environment where information has to flow quickly and no one has the time or patience to wrap their tongues around an outlandish name, a quicker one is going to be assigned to them. Even the increasing number of foreign workers realize that and are proactive about coming up with easily mouthed names. Abhijit becomes Abe, for example, and others just say "oh, call me Mike, or Blue, or Dan." They are fine with keeping their unique cultural name among family and friends, and taking a simpler name for business use.

I have a new grand daughter that's 2 weeks old. My daughter named her "Grayce". I think she was just drunk when she tried to spell it. haha Just kidden.

When my kids were born we gave them strange deviations of name or actually different ways to spell it.
