Irish names

[FebMum2Be]

I'm still very early on but I can help myself

We had my sons name (Odhrán) from 8 weeks pregnant, it was Cara for a girl.

I'm happy to use Cara if we get a girl this time round but I'm really loving Fionn and Seosamh for a boy.

Any suggestions? X

I've always loved Niamh and Caiomhe (think that spelling is right)

You are going to have to give me a clue of how all those are pronounced though as I've never come across them.

Fionn is Finn, Seosamh is Irish for Joseph and is pronounced shaw-su x
