[Opinions] Orlagh
I'm loving the name Orlagh (AWR-la) for a girl right now. And I was pleased to see it's fallen out of the top 100 again, after a brief peak: http://www.behindthename.com/top/search.php?terms=Orla&popterm=&gender=bothWDYTO the name, and of these combinations?Orlagh Morgan Isabelle
...Um, that's as far as I've got lol. Thanks in advance :-)_____________________________________________________________________"Dream like you'll live forever. Live like you'll die today."Elinor

I like Orla (particularly this spelling).
I think of it as a fairly straightforward name, not common, but one that everyone's heard of, but when I suggested the name to my boyfriend, he asked if it was a real name or if I'd made it up, and whether it was for a boy or a girl.

I like it very much but prefer the spelling Orla, which seems more feminine to me. The Orlagh spelling reminds me of Armagh, an Irish place name.

Nice, I actually prefer the spelling Orla, but Orlagh is great too.Orlagh Morgan Isabelle (or Orlagh Morgana Isabelle) is sounds great!

I think it's pretty, but I'd never use it because it's too close to the word "oral".

Orlagh was in the top 100? You must be Irish. (My mother is from Clonakilty.) I knew an Orla once with the personality of a tank. I had never heard of the name before so it's hard for me to separate the two. But that's my limitation. It certainly is a beautiful sounding name and has a lovely meaning. Do you like the name Aurelia? It's grown on me lately. although I can certainly understand if you want an authentically Irish name. (I've always thought Oonagh is pretty neat.) As for the combination, Orlagh Morgan Isabelle, I love the name Isabelle, but I only like Morgan for a boy. Besides, Orlagh Morgan has too much "or" sound together. How about:Orlagh Maeve Isabelle
Orlagh Siobhan Isabelle
Orlagh Vivien Isabelle

Not Irish, but Scottish, so not far off :-) I'm half Irish by heritage. Orla is popular here but I was glad it's tailed off again. I think it's still in the top 100 in Ireland (although only spelled Orla and Orlaith, which both ranked there).I think Aurelia's beautiful too. Thank you for the combos, I especially like Orlagh Vivien Isabelle!_____________________________________________________________________"Dream like you'll live forever.

I think you would have pronunciation issues with this name. However, the combo is pretty, although I prefer Morgan on a boy.
