[quote=Anonymous] [Up] Anonymous [quote]Baby girl on the way and all of the family has classic Irish names. We are down to the last few choices and I worry these two would be too confusing as she grows up. I'm tempted to go with "neve" instead but that's not the classic spelling. Not sure what to do here but we just aren't drawn to names like Brigid or Claire. [/quote] Claire is not an Irish name anyway. It's the French spelling of the Latin "Clare," as in Clare of Assisi, the Italian saint. Most Clares/Claires are named after the saint, not County Clare in Ireland. BTW, I agree with other PPs--please don't give your baby an Irish name that most people can't spell. I had a good friend who struggled through high school with the name Siobhan; she hated the name. There are so many lovely and easy-to-spell names like Maura, Maeve, Moira, Shannon, or Kathleen. Why not pick one of those? [/quote]
