[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the name a great deal. Just curious what the political connections are though?[/quote] Saoirse means freedom in Gaelic so it is most popularly used by Irish nationalists. The name is certainly less of a political statement than it was thirty years ago but I would still assume the parents of a Saoirse to super Irish reunification [/quote] It's also the name of the official newspaper of the Republican Sinn Fein party, which split from Sinn Fein in the '80s because they thought SF was too conciliatory. They continue to support the IRA. But you won't get those connotations in the US. And it's popular enough in Ireland that it's certainly not the exclusive purview of militant separatists. I think it's fine, OP. [/quote]
