What do you think of Eithne? I'm mostly Irish and this name is starting to grow on me. If I were to use it, should I spell it the original way or Enya? I don't usually like untraditional spellings, but Eithne might trip people up with the spelling and pronunciation.

Also, please hit me up with some combos! Thanks! 🙂

Eithne/Enya _________ Fleming
_________ Eithne/Enya Fleming


I prefer classic/vintage names and names that honor my Irish, Latvian, Scottish, or Scandinavian/Viking roots.

* If using Eithne/Enya as a MN, I don't want the first name to be too popular. I try to stay out of the top 200, but may consider something in the 150-199 range if I like it enough to overlook the popularity. I'm okay with a more common middle as long as it isn't filler (I love Rose, Elizabeth, Anne, Noelle, Kate, Jane, and Mae though).

No BNOGs, unisex names, or anything too trendy. I think names should age well.

I have a friend named Enya, and it fits her perfectly! I have never met another, and no one has issues with spelling. However, I think you should stick to the anglicized spelling (I was a little confused when I saw the non!)

 

For middle name ideas...

 

Enya Aster Fleming (In love!!)

Enya Astoria Fleming

Enya Jane Fleming (So adorable!)

Enya Judith Fleming (Love!!)

Enya Natalie Fleming

Enya Madeleine Fleming

Enya Violet Fleming

 

I tried to pull inspiration from your combos! Let me know if you like any

I think that Eithne is visibly far more beautiful. But you shouldn't make a child sacrifice a life of smooth spelling for a lovelier appearance in this case, and I think Enya's the way to go.
