Help[Opinions] Clodagh
Just curious how you guys feel about the name Clodagh. Pronounced Clow - da. "Clow", rhymes with "blow".
I know not everyone will like the spelling, but I'm more interested in how you feel about the *sound* of the name.

Makes me think of the symbol (like a clodagh-same sp?-ring). Would have pronunciation issues in the U.S., definitely. Not my favorite Irish name, but not bad, either.

I love it! I have a great-aunt Clodagh and she is fabulous. She is the most awesome, energetic and with it old woman you will ever meet. I also have two friends back in Ireland with this name. The only reason I would never use it personally is that to me it is too common, just because I hear it all the time among my friends back in Tipperary and I grew up around lots of Clodaghs...but thats Tipperary where the name is like Emily, Jessica, Ashley, but has been that popular for centuries.
Anyway, back to the original question. I love the sound, love the spelling, adore the name and would be so excited to see it on a little girl not in Ireland.

Aine,
I didn't realize it was you had changed your posting name. I was wondering where you were. I'm glad you like it. I think I do, but sometimes i'm not sure. It seems similar to "Claude" to me, and that kinda turns me off it, but I want to like it. funny.

How else would you spell it? (shudders to think)
That's how it's spelled, and I think it's fine that way.
It sort of reminds me of the sounds of Claudia, so I don't think it's so far out there as to be unacceptable to the public. Personally, I don't like it as a name because I always think of the claddagh when I hear it. Not a bad association, but not very namey.

I think this name just looks and feels really lethargic. I was surprised to see it was a feminine. I really wouldn't like it on either gender, though.
