Saoirse. But I'm a bit put off by shinner knackers giving their daughters that name (for those who don't know, it means "freedom").
I also really like Alex (for either gender - love "Lexie" for a girl) and Aidan.

I'm waiting to see what his ball skills are and whether he can whip one in from long range.

Leaving out the whole 'antichrist' thang, Damian's quite a good name.
Esp, if your last name begins with D.

Deborah for girls. Can't understand why it isn't used more...

Ruairí is a legend of a name!

Schism

Hmm.. Lisa, John (must have the h).

Softer sounding names are good. I actually like my own name too, do people generally like or hate their own name?

If Caoimhe is not 'caol le caol and leathan le leathan' (http://www.nualeargais.ie/foghlaim/caol.php) it wont look as good. It looks a bit D4 then.

I used to have a teacher who was christened Nora but she hated it so she changed her name to Hannah. Everyone used to call her Hanora though!

That's my brother's name and he spells it Evin, I think it's only been in the past 10 years that people have been spelling it with an a. I've even checked the book where the name was got from(1920's book of Irish names) it's Evin

the name of three Irish saints, one of whom was the founder of Monasterevan and patron of the O'Dempseys

And yes it always annoys me when people spell it wrong. The letters in Evin fit better than Evan which to me just looks awkward and wrong.

I have a fondness for Ollie. I think it's ridiculously cute. Jack, Owen (I'm not Irish, this spelling looks nicer to me), Theus (think it looks class, pronounced tee-ous, could only get away with naming a kid that if he was foreign though), Alex, Anders, Cian, Christoph/Kristov/etc., David, Kellen.

As for girls.. erm.. Aisling has actually grown on me since being in this country, though I hate similar names like Ashley or Ashlynn back home, Charlie on a girl is cute (though it kind of depends on the accent saying it), Sophie, Rowan.. there's actually very few girls' names I actually like.

It's been used quite a lot in North America as "Evan." I knew a few with that spelling growing up (I'm 21 now). Then again we changed spellings on a lot of Irish names, like Owen for instance.

Mark is a great name
