I like most of the same ones others tend to like, those that transfer easily for use by English-speakers. The one I've always liked that many don't care for is Kevin.

I'm not a huge fan of the category, but my favourite's Saoirse. Siobhan, Patrick and Padraic are nice too.

I'm not a huge fan of Irish names but I always liked Caoimhe, Quinn and Aidan a lot. I also really love Caitlin, Alannah, Aislin and Aisling. Aine and Saoirse are nice as well and Seamus has grown on me.

I used to love Saraid, then got bored with it. But I never really see other people around here liking it, so yay!Do you have more information on Briege? I've never seen it before and am not sure how to pronounce it either, but it looks nice.

Cool, I don't think I've ever actually seen Saraid mentioned on here :)Briege is an anglicized spelling of Bríd (Brid), pronounced 'BREEJ'.
