Irish girl names

Irish girls' names have driven the most interesting wave of the last decade — Saoirse (SEER-sha), Maeve, Niamh (NEEV), Aoife (EE-fa), Orla, Bridget, Fiona, Cara. The phonetics are famously tricky for English speakers, but the names themselves are short and lyrical, with deep mythological anchors (Maeve was the warrior queen of Connacht; Aoife was the unbeatable warrior of the Ulster Cycle). The full collection is below.
