[soposthardcore]

My dog's name is Tallulah, and she is a total princess. :)

[Buttons4me2010]

Torin makes me think of Thorin Oakenshield from the Hobbit....

[Buttons4me2010]

What about Orla?

[NakedMarbleBaby]

My Name Is Cliona (clee-oh-nah) , Usually Spelt Cliodhna And Pronounced Cleana . You Don't Hear It Much And There Is Approximately 50 In America ....

[Ozdust9]

[xXxDanityKanexXx]

wat is an alternative spelling to SAOIRSE

[ilikekat]

What about Kathleen?



[HousesOfWolves]

I've lived in Ireland my whole life and I've never met anyone with the name Tullulah or Caitria. Cáit is much more common than that, anyways. Naomh means saint in Irish, and it's not a common name. Never met anyone called Lila, Shea, either, haha. Tiernan and Grady are surnames.

[shaynaokane]

@HousesOfWolves Naomh and Shea are really popular in Ireland :P xx

[HousesOfWolves]

@shaynaokane Naomh is saint tho :P I've heard it once before, come to think of it.

[shaynaokane]

@HousesOfWolves i know but its the same as niamh, it can be spelled a few different ways... cant belive you've only heard it once everywhere you turn here theres a niamh or a naomh lol

[HousesOfWolves]

@shaynaokane Of course I've heard Niamh! It's as common as anything!

[shanadebaby]

Tallula, Niamh, Nora, Lile, Desmond, Cian, Torin nn Tory, Lochlann (Locklynn for a girl), Nolan, and Ronan are great

[Zeldagurl4eva]

I am part Irish, and i found a very pretty girls name on a website Lexie-Leigh!!! l love this name!!!! And it's usable with my last name! I'm 13 and I want to name one of my future daughters this!!!!!

[XxXLazzersXxX]

im irish and living in ireland and have never heard anyone with some of those names like Tallula

[seedofthepeople]

@XxXLazzersXxX Yeah its not even irish - its Native American.

[wuvweezerandwookiees]

I like (and i think this is Irish, not quite sure) Eoin (Owen)

[xJoleneMcx]

Niamh is a girls name. While Naomh is the Irish for say Saint..

[TheJacquelinevaughn]

You should do top 20 Armenian names. There are so many beautiful ones!

[xJoleneMcx]

Caoimhe is pronounced like Qwee-va not key-va. I love Saoirse(Seer-sha) and Aoibheann(A-veen) and then Ruairi(Rory) and Eoghan(Own) and Caoimghin(Key-veen).

[Brona1990]

Bróna? it means sorrow , can also be spelt Brónagh

[xXxDanityKanexXx]

wat is an alternative spelling to SAOIRSE

[07adamb]

@xXxDanityKanexXx there isnt

[Peacho19]

Irish names are much better spelt with a C rather than a K, it's the proper way to do it.

[seasicksweetheart]

Caoimhe is said more with a Q sound. Im from Ireland this name is coming back so strong now. In the last year i know three babies that have been named this..

[andreskizzo]

Shea is one of my fav boy names

[LundP4eva]

im from germany and im learning english since i was 8. now im 14. i was never in britain but i was very often in ireland, in derry, because someone of my family is living there. i love derry and the people there !!!!! i wish i could be there more often !! i found the video cause i have a lot of friends now in derry and a lot of them names are irish :) make a list with german names! and on which school is the girl going?

[forensicbutterflie]

[Jess81807]

me sons name is Eoghan. which is pronounced the same as the Welch name Owen.

[rosieXX4]

I think it would be really cool if you did spanish or mexican names considering they are becoming more popular in the united states. Great video!

[kardancer1]

My name is Karen but I heard the Irish spelling or variant is Cairenn or Caireann or Cairan which is most common or the right spelling?

[TheresaQ93]

I love the name aoibhean it mean adore in irish ... Tá ainmneacha Gaeilge álainn. Tá mé gaelach.

[missmatchful]

noamh isnt pronounced the same way is niamh ... naomh is NAY--V .... niamh is NEE--V ... i speak irish sorry so i would notice that !!

[SerenaG93]

Your not even proper Irish, your northern irish

[TheresaQ93]

@SerenaG93 Why because some stupid english invading assholes couldnt get the whole of ireland so decided to put a border round the 6 counties of the north because mostly britts lived there?? Sorry to tell ye there are more irish living in the north than brits .. The north of ireland is irish land!!! Raibh míle maith agaibh! Theresa as tuaisceart na héireann Contae Ard Mhacha.

[LemmingoftheBDA2]

@TheresaQ93

Northen Ireland is English territory so get used to it mick.

[TheresaQ93]

@LemmingoftheBDA2 O hello .. Emm that just shows how much you know .. Theres more to a country than what it says on a map .. And btw statistics say than the north of ireland and the free state will be united around 2021! O someone hasent called me a mick in a while its usually teag or ninnin or fenian.
