Will you please tell me ~ to help me vote ~ how to pronounce Aileas?
I am trying to imagine which name sounds best with big brother Liam. Maeve sounds best with Liam but I just trip over the name Maeve Farrelly. For some reason, it just seems like a tongue twister to me.
I am wondering how long it's been since your son Liam was born? It seems to me I remember someone recently (or maybe not so recently ~ how long *have* I been frequenting this board, LOL) considering the FN Lucy with LN Farrelly. Just curious. Lucy Farrelly sounds very nice, but then I can't imagine saying "Liam and Lucy." For some reason, they just don't seem to match to me.
Now then, I like the sound of Jessamine Farrelly, but again "Liam and Jessamine" just trips me up.
I am not a big fan of either Zara or Greer, so those are immediately nixed for me. I really really like Eavan (Ay-van, right?) Farrelly. There's no way you're going to have another kid around town named Eavan, right? (Or am I wrong, lol?) "Liam and Eavan" isn't GRAND but it's not so bad either.
Well, that's probably more than you bargained for, but there's my two cents in any case.
Good luck and congratulations!

Hi there! I just wanted to say what pretty choices you had here on your poll. Greer doesn't seem to be garnering a lot of votes, but I think it is a lovely name. I voted for Jessamine, but I agree that Maeve does sound fabulous with your last name. The lure of Jessamine was just too strong for me not to vote for it.
