We're on the same page. Where are these people coming up with these hideous names?????????

Ireland. That is where “these people” are coming from. These are both classic Irish names, you idiot.

Simmer down, pendeja.

OP already said they are Irish.

Meadbh is technically Gaelic. don't do it.

I'm also a Dubliner! Love both of these, I hear less Bronagh's than Maeve's (or Meadbh, etc...) around the place but both would work. As others have said it does make a difference whether you're living here or in the US but if you love the name go with it, regardless of location.

Other Irish names I love;
Niamh
Sadhbh
Aisling
Clodagh
Orla/Orlaith
Ciara
Laoise
Siofra
Aoife

Mae is much nicer

They are both lovely, but I think I prefer Bronagh!

Go with Maeve...it's pretty, it's Irish, and Americans call spell and pronounce it. Don't make your poor kid grow up with a name they have to spell and pronounce for people all the time.

I think Maeve is lovely, but I think some Americans may fumble the pronunciation.

I guarantee that Americans will mispronounce and misspell Bronagh. Also, my first impression was to confuse it with Branagh (as in Kenneth).

At least some people will have encountered the name Maeve before. Bronagh will be pronounced Brawn-ag, no one will be able to spell it, etc.

I used to live in Ireland so well acquainted with these names. However, the "Bronaghs" I knew while over there spelled it Brona.

Bronagh looks like the name for a dude or for a girl who is very strapping and manly

Maeve. Pretty name likely to be pronounced and spelled correctly.

Bronagh in print makes me think Brony.

I love Maeve!
