I am from the Oct. 2005 club and dh and I finally came up with a name for our baby girl. It was so easy for a boy but a girl proved to be more difficult. My husband is from Ireland and we wanted a traditional irish name (gaelic) It was harder for me since being from America and the names we are use to here. I couldn't even pronounce some of them. LOL.

We finally picked Maeve and now need a middle name to go with it. Can anyone give me a suggestion?

Thanks,
Jenn

Congrats on your little girl!

Maeve is one of my all time favorite names but I couldn't convince dh to use it on our daughter. I wanted to name her Maeve Catherine, Catherine was my grandmother. Do you have any family names that you could use?

Hi Mary,
Dh grandmother's name were both Margaret and mine are Julie and Veronica. I am trying to stick with an Irish theme. I just want the name to be perfect.

Thanks for the ideas. Now, I will have even a hrader time. LOL! There are just too many pretty names. I love Elizabeth and found the gaelic form is Alish ( you can spell it different ways also) You pronounce it aye-lish. I also got another idea. The name is Guinevere which is the gaelic form of Jennifer which is my name. I really liked that and never thought of it before.

I did some research on the net and asked dh who is fluent in Gaelic and here is the response to Jennifer in Gaelic form even thought Jennifer is not an Irish name.

Fionnabhair is the Irish equivalent of Genevere or
Jennifer.
