Oh, yeah. I love the names Orlaith, Máirín, & Niamh, but my husband gets all sorts of tongue tide and has permanently taken them off of our list of possible girl names. (by the way they're pronounced like this: "OR la", "MAUR een", "neev")
See, this is what I mean about the Irish/Gaelic names! Those look amazing and they would be great names, but at first glance, I would pronounce them "or LAITH," "MAYR in," and "ni AHM." Not even close! Haha.

Well it's nice to have one around because I'm sure everyone is just as confused as me. :] Go Scarlet! Our Gaelic lifesaver!
Definitely! I'm gonna have to go back and look at all of those names I could never pronounce and give her a list! lol!

There are lots of names like June, Ida, Cora and so forth I like but aren't quite ready for a comeback yet. Such a shame

"Oh, you have such a lovely daughter! What's her name?"
"It's Genesee!"
"Gene-what? Genevieve? Henessey? Tennessee?"
"No...Genesee..."
"Did you make that up?"
Sigh.
