Irish Baby Girl Names - What To Choose

So you think you may want to name your newborn one of the musical sounding Irish baby girl names. The Irish have a mystical history and quite an exotic sounding language. They also have a strong tradition of naming their children from their heritage as a warrior nation. Long ago, the Irish were some of the most fierce and noble people in all of Europe. Drawing on these traditions, they christened both their sons and daughters with names of strength from ages past.

Irish baby girl names are just as strong as the sons' names. The women in Irish culture did most of the same things the males did, even fighting side by side in battle. They were great hunters, as well as mothers and home makers. But they also had a more dainty and loving side. Many Irish baby girl names derive from flowers and things of beauty and happiness. Using these names for a son would seem a bit odd.

Names like Blath pronounced (bee law) literally translates to old Irish as flower or flower bud. Naming your son this would probably get him laughed out of the village, but for an Irish baby girl to be named this was something of pride for the family.

The name Alana means attractive and peaceful. Names like this are everywhere. They give a certain air to the baby girls when they are given names of beauty and grace. But you do have to watch out for the spelling and pronunciation of Irish names. Gaelic is a hard language to wrap your tongue around but once you do, it is quite exotic to hear and to speak. Having an Irish baby girl name is a great way to add some of that exotic quality to your daughter too.
