This or That: Celtic Boys: Round 1

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

The winner of the Celtic girls list was Fiona! Fiona comes from a Gaelic expression meaning "Fair".

Next we have the Celtic boys! And to avoid any confusion I'm including what the book says about Celtic names and I'll probably do this for all the future lists and I'll it put with ever round as well.


In the 1990 U.S. Census, the number of Americans reporting to be of Irish ancestry exceeded the total population of Ireland. The key to that remarkable statistic is reporting. Most American families today have a mixed background. If half or even a quarter of that background is Irish (or Scottish or Welsh), chances are that’s how people will describe themselves. Americans want to sound Celtic, because today Celtic is cool.

Just what a Celtic name is, through, is up to debate. The ancient Celts gave rise to a whole family of languages and peoples, most prominently the Irish and Scots (who spoke Gaelic) and the Welsh. Many of the names we think of as Celtic, like Patrick and Kathleen, are Anglicized descendents of the Celtic originals. In the U.S. longtime favorite Kathleen has now yielded to the old Gaelic version Caitlin, which in Gaelic is pronounced more like … Kathleen. And other favorites are Celtic words or surnames that only became given names in America.

In today’s Ireland, long-absent Gaelic names have roared back into fashion and share the stage with English standards. The number-one name in Ireland and Scotland is Jack, just as in England. But Sian, Darragh, Oisin are also trendy for Irish boys, and Aoife, Niamh, and Caoimhe for girls. (If those spellings give you pause, call them Sean, Dara, Oheen; Eva, Neeve, Kiva.) In Scotland, Callum and Liam are popular boys’ choices, while the top names for girls all mirror American favorites. Top Welsh names include Dylan and Rhys for boys, Megon and Ffion (FEE-on) for girls.

The list below includes Gaelic revivals, familiar standards, and Celtic surnames that have been presses into service as first names. If you’re looking for a little Celtic flavor, you’re bound to find something to your liking.

I tried to sell my partner on Aoife and Caiomhe but he wasn't having it. I would have delighted for all eternity to have an Irish/Gaelic name that was spelled "weirdly" and forced to have to spell it for my whole life; my mom liked Siobhan for me, but my father also didn't like the idea. *sigh* She did get away with Caitlin, although we pronounce it Kate-lynn and not Cawth-leen.
