Baby names?

Question

I wanna know what people think of the names:
Kevin (male)
Micheal (m)
Jack (m)
Shannon (female)
Shea (m)
Daniel (m)
Aidan (m)
Maria (f)
Cathal (caath hill) (m)

Yeah all Irish. They're of cousins but because i was brought up with them i never decided if they're nice names or not. Please give your honest opinion, my cousins won't find out!! LOL!!

All irish people can pronouce them and since we live in Ireland that's what matters!! Right?!!

Let's make a game of it, can you guess what names are siblings. They are from families of:
3 boys (22, 21, 12) 1 girl(14), 1 girl (8) 1 boy(12), 3 boys (7,5,3).

Cool team ur close but not right. the 3 boys (22,21,12 have a lil sis 14) and then another 12 yr boy has a 8 sis and then the 3other boys (7,5,3)

Shannon is a girl.

I'm not havin a baby i just wanna know what people think of my cousins names coz i've never thought about it.

People don't understand that the families are as follows:
Family 1: 1 girl (14) 3 boys (22,21,12)
Family 2: 1 girl (8) 1 boy (12)
Family 3: 3 boys (7,5,3)

Answer 1

Daniel and Maria are good.

I don't like Kevin - it's an Essex boy's name.

Answer 2

Kevin -I have a soft spot for Kevin, as that's my fiance's name. However, I don't like it much outside of my man ; ) I like Gavin a lot more.

Micheal -I don't care for this spelling, I like Michael a lot more. It's very common in the US, but I like it as a middle name, as my best friend is a Michael.

Jack -It's a nice nickname, but I'm not a huge fan of it as a given name.

Shannon -It's cute. I work with a large black guy named Shannon, though, and he sucked the cute right out of the name.

Shea -It's fun. I knew a Shaeffer growing up who went by Shae. It's nice.

Daniel -I work with a total flirt named Daniel. I'm not a huge fan, but I like my friend Daniel, so I don't mind it.

Aidan -Ooh, I used to love Aiden, but it's a very common name in the US now, just like Braydon, Hayedynn, Kaiden, etc.

Maria -It's fine, I don't really have an opinion of it.

Cathal -I really like it. I wish I lived in Ireland so I could use Cathal, Caoimhe, and Niamh without people butchering them.

And the game! Corrected, because I'm slow and don't read well, apparently ; )

3 boys (Michael, Cathal, and Kevin) and 1 girl (Maria)

1 boy(Shea) and 1 girl (Shannon)

3 boys (Daniel, Jack, Aiden).

Answer 3

Kevin - Fairly straightforward; not my favorite, but no problem with it.

Michael - I've always liked this name, but it is fairly common.

Jack - I tend to think of Jack as a nickname, so I'm not a big fan of it used as a normal name. Also, it's fairly common and a little too simple for me.

Shannon - No real problem with it, but not my favorite.

Shea - First thought was "shea butter", but if you get past that, it's kind of pretty. More or less so depending on middle/last name.

Daniel - Another name I've always liked, but is also fairly common.

Aidan - I LOVE this name for a boy. Celtic and slightly unusual, but easy enough to spell and pronounce. It's a strong, slightly artistic name, and I'm a fan.

Maria - Although I don't think it's a bad name, this is another one that is just a little too common for me - too many Mary's, Marie's, and Maria's for my taste.

Cathal - Now, while I liked Aidan because it was less common, I'm not as big a fan of Cathal unless it's used as a middle name.

Answer 4

Shannon Maria

and

Aidan Michael

Answer 5

Kevin is not nice (sorry)
Michael is cute
Jack is lovely but very common now
Shannon is lovely
Shea is unusual but nice
Daniel is cute
Aidan i'm not keen on (sorry again!)
Maria is stunning (that's my eldest daughters middle name)
Cathal is very cute!!

ok and as for your game i'd guess:
family 1 = Kevin Michael and Jack
family 2 = Shannon
family 3 = Shea and daniel
family 4 = aidan, maria and cathal

am i right???? hehe :-)

Answer 6

A like all of them but Cathal (if you have to spell it out for us imagine all the trouble he's going to have)

My favorites: Maria, Aidan, and Shea

Answer 7

I like the names - Daniel, Aidan and Maria. The others are nice but I prefer those ones

Answer 8

I like Jack, Daniel, and Aidan the best. I tend to think that any name that you have to write out phonetically (like Cathal) is probably not the best, or at least not the best way to spell it (for your child's entire life every year at school when teachers read his name they'll always butcher it).

Answer 9

I like Shannon, Daniel, Aiden and Maria the best. The rest are ok.

Answer 10

Kevin I HATE! I had a horrible boyfriend named Kevin. ugh

Michael I love, it's an awesome name.

Jackson I really LOVE, I'd call him Jackson. It's very mature and sophisticated. Not Jack.

Shannon seems dull to me.

Shea reminds me of Shea Butter.

Daniel is AWESOME especially for a middle name.

Aidan is OK.

Maria is elegant and simple, it's very lovely.

Cathal I don't like.
