My cousin had twin boys recently and called them Galen and Cadel. Really love the name Cadel and I usually hate Irish names.

Jenna is a cute girls name and will work well with Chloe.

Make sure you look up whatever name you choose in Irish, sometimes they can be awful like Abigail which is Gobnait in Irish.

Boys, Finnbarr, Rufus, Caolan or Odhran.
Girls, Martha, Emily, Beibhinn or Hadley.

General suggestion: try to pick something outside the top 50 on this list:

http://www.cso.ie/en/media/csoie/releasespublications/documents/birthsdm/2011/babiesnames_2011.pdf

It's the CSO report on the most popular names for boys and girls in 2011 - picking names within the top 20 or so sort of condemns your kid to being one of the 15 "Jack/James/Sophie/Emily" 's in their class the whole way through school and college - not a big deal really but might be something to consider.

Good luck with whoever they turn out to be !

It would seem that some say it is as St. Abigail was the patron saint of beekeepers and Deborah is Hebrew for bee. Others say there is no Irish for Deborah.

Well I've not heard it translated from Abigail like that anyway. I don't know why teachers have a thing for translating everyones names to Irish. Anyway, Abiageal is what I know it as.

fuk off? if you dont like the idea of a a certain thread, dont enter it and dont go on to it just to tell somebody to fuk off as you yourself asked people to do on the What's with all the rape threads? thread. I might be making myself sound like a fussy, picky tit by saying this but i just dont see the point in people acting the dick for no reason

Also surprised in seeing a Mod giving you the thumbs up...
