I've just found out that my baby is going to be a girl, so I've decided to start trying to think up a name.
My boyfriend is pretty indifferent as to the name, however he would probably be very happy if we gave our daughter an Irish name. No weird made up names please.
The last name will be Mhaoir-Lynch (pronounced Moyer-Lynch)
Thanks

I personally love the name Erin for an irish girl. The popular one though is catherine,katherine, aka katie but you could nickname Cat.
Erin Lynn is nice short for that long last name.
Erin Mhaoir-Lynch Erin Lynn Mhaoir-lynch

Try this site: http://www.babynamesofireland.com/ Complete with meanings, origins, common Anglicized spellings and audible pronunciations (if you need them)! ;)
Behind the Name also has an extensive -- accurate (unlike most other sites) -- list: http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/iri_f.php
Some of my personal favorites include ...
Talulla
Mairenn (MAWR-en)
Morrigan
Clodagh (nickname Cloe is sweet!)
Finola (again, love the nickname Nola)
Imogen
Niamh (NEEV)
Fallon
Teagan
Alannah
Aine (AWN-ya)
Orla
Siobhan
Maeve
Dara/Darragh
Devanie
Maura
Moira
Lile (LEE-la; Irish form of Lily)
Hope that helps! ;)
Ps. Just to clarify (after reading some above suggestions), Roisin does not sound like "Rosine" (it's ROSH-een), nor is
Saoirse said Sareese (or anything remotely similar LOL ... it's SEER-sha!!!). And contrary to popular belief, Michaela is a feminine form of Michael. NOT an Irish surname misspelled at random -- McKayla, Mikaela, MaKaylah, etc.

Well my first thought was Moira, which I love, but it would be too much with Moyer-Lynch I suppose. So I am thinking Siobhan or Roisin, which are both very nice names. Good luck!

Brighid is a nice Irish name that's pronounceable in English. I also like Ciara, but you'd constantly have people calling her Sierra so I wouldn't recommend it. I'd also consider Siobhan, Maeve, Kathleen, or Fiona.

Fiona Mhaoir-Lynch. Fiona is an Irish name. I've always liked it. I have an Irish name and I like it a lot.
