you can't vote for two different things on the same poll, but I would've voted "don't like" for both, sorry.

I agree. I wonder how you go from a common name like Zach to these two choices. Too weird for me, sorry.

Hi ladies, my first poll -- now I know you can only use one name per poll!Anyway, my husband chose the name Zach for our first son and I want a unique name for our next child. I didn't feel strongly about Axel, but I loved the name Mairéad as soon as I saw it. Just wanted to make I got *some* positive feedback - if no one at all liked it I think I would have to reevaluate! Thanks!

Hi, can you please tell me how to pronounce that name? Mairead, Is it? Sorry,don't know how to do the accent.
There could be many different pronunciations, to my point of view: Mare-reed...Mare-ree-add...Moy-rad...Moy-ree-add...

Thanks.

Love, love, love Mairéad! My sister is Margaret and I thought that would be a great way to honor her. But dh is against all things too Gaelic! He ignores his Irish roots while I embrace mine! LOL! I grew up with a Mairéad, she was a spunky, fun girl who would be in her 40s now. Her sisters were Moira, Michaela and Maeve, her parents were ahead of their time.

I do not care for Axel at all, sorry. It is just nmsaa.

Best of luck.
