Aislin. It's on my list, but Hubby's not sure about it.

And also Rhiannon, but I think that's actually Welsh, not Irish.

You're right about Caitlin, there is no K in the Irish alphabet.

Katherine, Erin, Moira, Maureen, Mary, Colleen and Ellen.

Saoirse is my favourite.

I have a cousin named Colleen (she's 6) and one on the other side of the family named Brigit (she's about 22).

Colleen isn't actually an Irish name, it just means girl.

I didn't know Fiona was Irish. But its one of my favourite names.

For wee girls, or just for females in general? :P

I like Brigid, but only when it's pronounced 'BRIJ-id'.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Haha yeah I've been wondering about the whole "wee girls" thing myself.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I like Colleen spelled this way and Kaitlin. Actually that is the only spelling of Kaitlin I like.

My favorite Irish girls' names are Saoirse, Siobhan, and Eilish.

Traditionally Fiachra is a boy's name, is it being used for girls too now?

[soulsplinter8.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I thought it was traditionally a boys' name, but I met a girl in Ireland called that. :o)

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Maeve (well, technically it's Gaelic, but still) & Roisin! Both are high on my list.
