Aislynn, Sofeah, Gavin, AND... (help!)
- Catriona Gael
- Maeve Noreen (Pronounced May-Ev)
- Astrid Rosaleen
- Rosaleen Mae
- Evangeline Noelle
- Sibeal Iona (pronounced Shi-Vale)
You will be able to change your vote.

I voted for Rosaleen Mae because it's straight-forward, unusual without trying so hard.
Over here, no one living so close to Gaelic speakers would say May-ev, it's MAYV, 1 syllable.
LOVE Evangeline (ever since "Lost") - nn Evie would be adorable! But, I'm not a big fan of Noelle - but LOVE Mae. How 'bout Evangeline Mae? Not sure if the combos are set in stone or not, but I like that the best.
Good luck!

Thankyou for your help, I am actually from Ireland, and moved to Canada when I was 11 years old so I do know how the names are pronounced, and I would like my child to have a traditional name if we got the celtic/gaelic route. To clear up some pronounciation stuff, I guess I just was thinking differently in my head than the way that you all interperited it. Maeve, I know is one syllable, I was trying to express the "drawn-out-ness" of the V and the length of the vowell sound by saying it was May-Ev. I understand how that is confusing now that I look at it though. The way it is said, it is almost like the vowell dwindles before the V comes strong, if that makes sense. And I know that Catriona is pronounced katrina, obviously. But It's almost Cat-tree-uh-nah, so again, the vowell sound is held out (although I didn't indicate a pronounciation on my original post).
Thanks for your input, I thought I'd just clear those things up.

My real vote would be for Astrid (LOVE!LOVE!LOVE!) Rosaline (pronounced Rose-uh-Line--like Caroline).
I love the name Astrid, and it's so underused!
I voted for Catriona Gael... I adore Catriona and think it fits in with your children's names beautifully :)
