Aisling!I love the name Aisling, and Aislinn too. Nice meaning, and I like the sound.I like Maeve too, but not Meave, not sure if that was a mistake or not.ETA: so turns out Meave is legit. I'd still think someone made a mistake with Maeve.

Aisling, though I like Maeve too.

Aisling, no contest. I LOVE Aisling! It's been one of my favourites for years. I love the combo Aisling Phaedra. Meave is a beautiful name, but it's so overused. I know lots of Meaves and Méabhs. I prefer the actual spelling Méabh. Fionnuala is kind of old fashioned. I don't like it that much.

Aisling, then Meave and then Fionnuala. I love all three and generally I would love Meave more than Aisling, but I prefer the Meabh or Maeve spellings. Beautiful, beautiful names!Hey, if you are the Link who used to post here, it is nice to see you again! Shea and Caoimhe must be getting really big now!

I like Meave the best. I also kind of like Fionnuala, but Aisling is NMS. Fionnuala Meave would be a cute combo.

"Fionnuala Maeve"Cute, although I see Fionnghuala as the name of an ingénue and Maebh as the name of a femme fatale, so those two names seem like foils.

Fionnuala!One of my favorite names!

Fionnghuala!I like Maebh (Maeve) and Aisling, but Fionnghuala (fyoon-WAH-la) is one of my favorites! Classy, elegant, natural, wholesome, intellectual, unique...Since it means roughly "fair-shouldered", I picture this little fair-haired girl in a white dress running through the green meadows of the Irish countryside.Fionnghuala works for a scrubbed, wide-eyed ingenue while Maebh (meaning "intoxicating") seems to work well for a sultry femme fatale (in honor of the legendary Queen Maedhbh of Connacht)

We'd say Fin-oola in Dublin. Most girls have the nn "Noola" or "Nuala". or even Fin. Which I adore.
I tend to like Fionnuala a little better. Because I think it makes a nicer sibset with my daughters Shea and Caoimhe.

Really? That's rare. Nice taste =)

I like Maeve best. I once knew a girl named Fionnuala who went by Nuala, she was a strange one and it's kinda put me off the name.

LOL. funny how that bad taste lasts forever with a name. I was thinking of using Fin as a nn.
