More Gaelic names

[americandiva.livejournal.com]

There seems to be a bunch of Irish/Gaelic names floating around this place...so I thought I would post my favorites.

btw: I am Irish so I am particial to the names...but not the spellings since I live in New York. So..a lot of these are technically Gaelic but have more American spellings.

Boys:
Braden ( Trendy...but I do like it and i"m not having kids for quite a few years. So I'd only consiter it if it was less trendy when I had a son)
Liam
Rian (pn: like Ryan)
Seamus
Sean
Tadhg or Tighe (different spellings...same name)
Eamon
Rory

Girls:
Alana
Kira
Siobhan
Keeva
Claire
Fiona
Niela
Noelle

I really like the majority of your names, but Tighe seems really out there to me. Like, to the point where it totally looks made-up. And I also have no idea how to pronounce it. I also HATE the name Siobhan. It doesn't look like it's pronounced AT ALL and I just think it's an ugly name - both the way it looks AND the way it sounds.

I love Seamus, Sean, and Liam for boys, though, and Kira, Claire, and Noelle are gorgeous names.
