Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Cathleen?
in reply to a message by Emma Cummings
My niece is Erin Cathleen. :-)
Cathleen is very pretty. It's softer looking than Kathleen, and has a more authentic feel since Irish doesn't have a "k" in the alphabet. Yeats used "Cathleen ni Houlihan" as a personification of Ireland, if I'm not mistaken.
I definitely love the name Cathleen. Lily Cathleen is a lovely combination. Others you might like:
Anna Cathleen (= pure grace)
Rosa Cathleen
Mairead Cathleen
Deirdre Cathleen
Isibeal Cathleen ("ISH-bale")
Brigid Cathleen
Sinead Cathleen
Ailsa Cathleen
Emerald Cathleen
Mary Cathleen (nn Mae?)
Margaret Cathleen (nn Maisie?)
Elsa / Elspeth Cathleen
Fiona / Finola Cathleen
