As a tribute to my love for celtic names I'm going to do a series of blogs about my favorite celtic names. I'm going to start with Irish names. I have 10 boys names' and 10 girls' names. I love so many Irish names that it was really hard to choose which ones to include in this blog. Anyway I hope you like them:
Boys
10. Kian - I really like this name, I went to school with a boy called Kian which is the first time I heard it. It means ancient.
9. Conall - This was the name of one of my friends from school. It means 'strong wolf' and to me it is very masculine sounding.
8. Malachy - This name is pronounced MAL-ah-kee and is the name of a charcter in the soap Hollyoaks and also two characters in the book and film Angela's Ashes.
7. Tiernan - This name means 'lord' and is very unusual and interesting.
6. Shea - (Shay) I love this name! I think it's very interesting but some people may think it's a bit feminine.
5. Ronan - This is the name of one of my cousins so unfortunately I probably won't be able to use it. I think it is very strong and masculine and I like its meaning - 'seal'.
4. Kevin - I have always liked this name. It is very cool, strong and masculine.
3. Liam - This is a Irish form of the name William and has been one of my favorite names for a long time.
2. Ciaran - I love this name, especailly with its original spelling. It is very strong and masculine sounding and means 'black'.
1. Finn - This names sounds modern but it is actually an ancient name form Irish mythology which I think is very cool. It also reminds me a lot of Glee. It means white and is probably my favorite boys name
at the moment.Girls
10. Orla - This is a short and sweet name with the wonderful meaning of 'golden princess'
9. Siobhan - (shiv-ON) this used to be one of my favorite names. I still like it although I don't think it is very feminine sounding.
8. Coleen - To me this name seems old-fashioned in a good way. It always makes me think of a little girl with curly red hair and frickles.
