It is a magical time when you have to choose your babies name but finding a truly Irish name can be difficult especially if you are not from Ireland or if you don’t have any of the Irish language. Giving your newborn an Irish name is a wonderful Irish present to give them as they enter the world.
Some fantastic names for baby boys include:
- Iarlaith which is pronounced as “ear – lah” and is translated as Jarlath in English
- Seamus which is pronounced as “chea – muss” and the English translation is James
- Ronan which is pronounced as “Row – nawn”,this is a truly Irish name as there is no translation to english
- Liam which is pronounced as “Lee – um” the translation into English is William
- Daithi which is pronounced as “Dah – he” translated to English means David
- Sean which is pronounced as “shawn” translated into English it means John
- Finbarr, the pronunciation of this one is straightforward “Fin – barr” which means Barry in English
It is important to remember though that if you are giving your child an Irish name in America make sure it is a name that people can easily pronounce and possibly spell as this is a problem for people with Irish names in America. Giving your baby an Irish name is something that they will appreciate throughout their life and make them very proud of their heritage and the connection to Ireland you give them that stays with them for the rest of their life.
