Eoin, Eoghan and Aoibheann are all legit, as they are gaelic names..that's how they're supposed to be spelt.

But yeah, with the exception of Kirsty, Robyn, Karl, Cory and Shauna (whom live in the UK where i am), all the rest live in Ireland.

Aoibheann

A substitute teacher's worse nightmare.

Otherwise, all right names. I guess I just don't like mixing unusual/odd spelling or names with regular ones like:

Sharon's children:
Connor
Caitlin
Eoghan (pronounced Owen - another gaelic spelling)
Aoibheann (another gaelic name - pronounced A-veen)

Connor and Caitlin are so average - but then you got the crazy gaelic spellings for the two other children.

lol definitely. When i first heard my cousin had named her this, i thought it was cute, and i still think the sound is pretty. However, although the spelling seems strange to us, the name is well recognised in the area of Ireland where she lives, so i'm sure she won't have much trouble.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___heyvanity/]

Ohhh, well if they live in an area where it's rather normal, then I understand. If they lived in the United States I can imagine it would be tough. I think the way they sound are pretty though too! I just would never be able to know that's pronounced A-veen if I saw it. Same with Eoghan.

lol i know! When i asked how she was spelling it i was like woahh, but i guess i'm just used to it now!

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

haha don't worry about it :P

I really like Patrick, just not the nicknames for it. My cousin goes by 'Pa' which i don't really like.

Norah - I used to hate this name and always thought of it as an 'old ladies' name, but baby Norah is soo cute that i'm starting to love it :)

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

yeah! Well my uncle is called Edward and goes by Ned ALL the time, and i hate hate hate it lol.

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

i don't know, but i really really dislike it, lol.

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

I love the name Courtney.
My name is Nicola, and i sometimes get 'Nic', but thats only by family and only occasionally so it doesn't bother me too much but i'd hate to go by it all the time.

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

i don't know where your from but here in the UK Nicola is so common amoung girls my age, i had 4 in my class at school.
I'd much rather be called Nicole, i actually love that name..but i don't think i would ever use it because it's so close to my name.

I only know of one Courtney here, and she'll be about 6 or 7 now.

I basically love every name in your family. Plus...I'm Irish so I am biased towards Irish names. The only thing is that I live in New York City and I think Gaelic spellings here would drive everyone crazy lol. I love them though.

[politicking.livejournal.com]

since Sharon has all Gaelic names- how does she pronounce Caitlin? i have a friend whose family is Irish, her middle name is Caitlin & it's said like "Cot-lin." i'm not sure if it's the origin, or they're just weird lol.

[politicking.livejournal.com]

my ex-bf has a friend Siobhann (Shi-vonne) & i can't imagine have to spell that out my whole life lol

[mmmrorschach.livejournal.com]

Gaelic fails pretty damn hard.

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

it's actually spelt CAITLÍN with the accent but i didnt know how to put the accent on, so i copied it off behindthename.com lol.
She pronounces it as kate-lyn but the correct pronounciation for it with the accent it kaht-leen.

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

Maybe to you, but not to the people living in Ireland :)

I like the nn Paddy for Patrick
:)

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I like:
Jack - On my favourites list
John - A bit overused, but I still like it!
Eoin - Would never use here in Wales as no one would be able to pronounce them!
Lia - Pretty
Aoibheann - Same as Eoin
Dylan - Also on my favourites list
Patrick - Cute
Karl - Couldn't use as my BF hates a guy callde Karl!

I adore Ciara.
However, it's for purely selfish reasons.
My name is Kirra (Ki-rah) and have been toying around with changing my name to Ciara, but I know it will just get mispronounced. See-are-ah makes me cringe.
