Oh, shoot -- middle names??

[sioleabha]

I just realized that we haven't even thought about middle names for this baby.

We've mostly decided on the first names. A girl will be either Aislin ("Ash-lynn") or Aisling ("Ash-ling") and a boy will be Kieran. All of our kids have Gaelic first names, and "normal" middle names:

Aryanna Elizabeth
Aoghdan Alan
Seamus Riley
Hamish Patrick
Sinead Eve

Our last name is a simple, two syllable name. One middle name I have wanted to use since we started was Marie, but I don't know how that sounds with Aislin/Aisling. Also it would officially preclude me from ever naming a baby Mairi, if by some good fortune we ever had another (this is supposed to be our last.) I have no clue for a boy's name.

Ideas?

I think Aislin Marie sounds nice (that's pronounced Mar-EE rather than MAR-ee, right?).

Aislin Rose or even Aisling Rose

Kieran ...I'll have to get back to you on that one.

I think Aislin Marie sounds nice (that's pronounced Mar-EE rather than MAR-ee, right?).

Yeah, emphasis on the second syllable. It's my mom's middle name, and I've always liked it. It's a definite possibility, though I'd like to consider other names, too. Just not sure which ones.

I already used the two main family names I wanted: Riley & Patrick.

Aislin Rose or even Aisling Rose

*nod* I like this one, too!

Hmm, I actually think Rose goes better with longer first names. Like Aryanna Rose would have been nice.

I did have a friend growing up named Rose, but I already named one baby after her sister (Eve).

I agree that Aislin/Aisling Marie sounds nice. How about Michelle after yourself? Or Joy is a pretty middle name.

Kieran...how about Kieran Joseph or Kieran Andrew? I really like the name Kieran, btw.

hmmm..Kieran Matthew or Kieran Mark
