Help[Opinions] Re: New neice - Hilda May and a few other BAs.
in reply to a message by Speranza
Oooooo, Róise and Nóra are gorgeous together.
To be honest, I'm not that crazy about Hilda, but I think it's a name that could grow on me if I knew a nice girl named Hilda. May compliments it well and Niamh, oh Niamh why can you be practical in the US? No one will know how to pronounce you :(. Same goes for Róise, I'd use it in a heartbeat if people knew how to pronounce it. Oh well, maybe middle names someday.
Áine Bríd and Eibhlín are lovely as well. The others names are okay, but I don't like them as much as the others.

I really think Hilda is one of those names you like by association. Alfred is the same - it's my husband's grandfather's name (and C's middle name)and it grew on me slowly.
My MIL Hilda herself was called after her grandmother and never liked her name but is chuffed by the namesake and thinks May softens Hilda. Róise and Nóra do work well together, I agree. Most people hear Róise as Róisin as Róise is rare. And Niamh is a wonderful name - one of the few names I'd use in spite of it's popularity. My cousin lives in Ca and wanted to call her first daughter Niamh but her husband vetoed it. Instead it's her second daughter's middle name.
Eibhlín and Áine are lovely together. I was impressed by Eibhlín so I was holding my breath to see what they'd call the new baby. And I love the nod to St Bridget as well.
I agree about the other names they are a bit meh. Jack and Seán are so popular here - usually after fathers and grandfathers called John or Seán or Jack.
