Help[Opinions] Laoise
Laoise has really been growing on me these past few days. I played Sims 2 constantly until I got a girl, just so I could name her! =P
Anyway, wdyt of Laoise? Using it in real life probably wouldn't be the wisest decision in the U.S. because of major spelling/pronunciation problems, but I can dream, can't I? :) Middle name suggestions are more than welcome - my ideas are the usual blah ones right now. Some include Laoise Carolyn, Laoise Christine, and Laoise Julia. I think they're nice, but I'm not convinced.
Thanks so much!

It kind of makes me mad, frankly.
I guess all of those funky Irish names do. But this one especially because it's "Leesha," which would be considered trashy if you saw it in high school but if it's spelled with a bunch of completely wacky vowels it's distinctive, unusual, dignified, and Irish.
I think it's a neat noise anyway.

I first heard it yesterday when you suggested it as a fn for Alice and I really like it. I love the meaning and I like Laoise Carolyn =)I knew it was Irish when I first saw it and so I pronounce it LEE-sha but I'm not sure if that's the correct pronunciation. There's an actress named Leisha Hailey. Leisha sounds exactly like Laoise to me so maybe that would avoid mis-spellings, mis-pronunciations and such. Anyway, here's some mn suggestions...

I like how it looks, but not how it sounds. I assumed it was Irish just looking at it so guessed it was pronounced LU-sha or LOW-sha, which is still a wee way off the actual pronunciation!

Really, when I saw this name I pronounced it like Lois. this might be me being half asleep, but that just shows you in the united states, it may not work so well.
though I do like how it looks.
