[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Using traditional spelling is also regional in Ireland. If you are from Connacht or the Gaeltacht they are much more common. But less population so they don’t pop on the top names list. My cousins have little kids including: Sadhdb, Caoimhe and Grainne. They aren’t the only ones in their classes with those names either. I married an American so we have gave them Irish names Americans can say but traditional Gaelic speller middle names. [/quote] I was going to suggest Grainne to OP. I think it's relatively easy to correct the mispronunciation. I think the gh and db consonants are the hard things for Americans to wrap their head around. Vowels tend to be all over the place anyway in American English.[/quote]
