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!

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 like the Welsh name Nia for a girl.

Was also on a hospital ward with two Winifred's (both in for hip replacements), and wondered why the name isn't in more use these days.

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.

Regardless of what you say I believe the spelling of it should be Evin. I always think the person is fat if they spell it with an a but thin if it's with an i (no real reason for that, maybe as a child I met someone that spelt it with an a and they were fat). I see it as a mistake that people have excepted and for some reason I hate it when words are spelt wrong (even though I'm dyslexic)

this is what i have come across on the net--in 1883 one victorian baby was saddled with a name for every letter of the alphabet----ann,bertha,celelia,diana,emily,fanny,gertrude,hypanthia,inez,jane,kate,louisa,maud,nora,ophelia,quince,rebecca,starkey,teresa ulysses,venus,winifred,xerophes,yetty,zeuse, and her surname was pepper

Top name alright, not biased at all like.

When I was young my buddy always took the piss, "imagine being an old man and called Ollie", always pissed me off that. He still says it now and again, the prick. And his name is Jim Morrison, seriously.
