Not sure what happened. My husband wants this as our daughters middle name ( if our next is a girl).

And my name is hyphenated and they always put an E on the end of Ann. Calin

:-). I don’t get it……. I really want to call any future children I may have Irish names, particularly love the name Caoimhe (which I would pronounce Kee-va) however people have always pronounced my name wrong and I don’t want to inflict that on my poor children haha!

Howells – The pronunciation varies depending on the part of Ireland you’re in, but two pronunciations of Eilís are “EYE-leesh” and “AY-leesh.”, (This name might be getting a boost soon thanks to the movie Brooklyn.).

Of course, I have no objection to people calling their children Kate-Lynn and spelling it that way. On this basis I think of a strong, independent woman who is generally well liked and not at all daunted by gender roles.

Nevill – exactly how it is in english , however the irish name has a “bh” instead of a “v” as far as i know. Any recognize the surname ‘O’kuinghttons’?
