Choosing an Irish Name:  Get an Early Start Expressing Their Irish Side!

Choosing an Irish name may seem difficult at first.  But once you know a few of them, you begin to recognize them - they are all around us!  Many Irish names have very interesting meanings and historical significance, making them a particularly wonderful way to express our individual Irish sides.

So ... How Well Do You Know Your Irish Stuff?
Tap HERE to find out!

I went through the process of choosing an Irish name when we named my third son Aiden.  Derived from the name of a 7th century Irish bishop - Aodhan - it basically means "fire" or "fiery one," reflecting the qualities of passion and strength.  A good choice on our part, if I do say so myself :-)

Anyway, I look forward to sharing some of our favorite names with you and providing links to many more.  Sneak preview:  we have lists of Irish names for baby boys and baby girls.  They work equally well when choosing an Irish name for human babies and ... fur babies (pets :-).  Shall we begin?

Choosing an Irish Name:  How to Begin

One place to start when choosing an Irish name is to answer a few questions for yourself and your co-parent.  What are the qualities you value and want to instill in your little one?  What aspects of Irish culture or history do you want to honor and commemorate in your family history?  Which Irish name sounds like it would be fun to say over and over again for many, many years? :-)

Please keep in mind - names often have very complex histories and a variety of different meanings.  The information below is my best summary of what I have learned about choosing an Irish name, but I make no claim that they are all 100% correct (or even 100% Irish, although they all have ties to Ireland). 

With that in mind, here are some ideas to get you started.
