First names that sound alright with Saoirse?

[Anonymous]

We’re using Saoirse for our middle name but are having a lot of trouble finding any names that sound good with it. It’s hard because the -uh ending eliminates most names ending in A but I also feel like the syllable pattern just lends it better to being a first name. DH doesn’t want it as first though because it’s so difficult (he has some unique name PTSD). What first names sound good with Saoirse?

It really depends on the kinds of names you like. Can you tell us a name you'd use if middle names weren't a problem?


It really depends on your ss

Alright is all right. Just as all wrong is not alwrong!

First, it has to be Irish or at least Irish-adjacent. You can't just throw out Saoirse as a middle name and use Emily or Serena or Danielle as the first name.

Something simple for a first name would be best. Mae, Maeve, Mary, Claire, Kathleen.

I agree that Saoirse makes for a better name, though. Then she could be Saoirse Mae, Saoirse Claire, Saoirse Mary....they all are better using the name you love as a first name.

As someone with a less well known Irish name myself, I can only say that it's not that bad. (I think Saoirse Niamh is lovely, myself, but your DH's head would probably explode to smithereens!)

Of course you can! You do know, that in some families where parents want to honor different family origins, they use first and middle names of different origins? It's ok!

Niamh. Might as well have no one able to correctly pronounce.
