My Irish cousin named her dd
Eimear. It's one of my all time favorite Irish names. I adore it.
But she pronounces it "EE-mer / EE-mur." Different parts of the courtry pronounce names differently so maybe that accounts for the difference. (She's in the south, in County Tipperary.)

Eimear has such a dreamy quality to it that some of the mns above oddly felt right at home next to her. Do any of them strike your fancy?
