What are some Irish names?

Answer 1

There are lots of Irish names. It depends how complicated you want them to be. Some of today's common names are actually Irish, for example: Ciara, Aideen, Aileen, Kieran, Katrina, Caitlin, Brian Reilly, Lee, Liam etc.

There are a lot more complicated ones as well: like my own name, Fionnghuala (Fionnuala), and Gaelic versions of modern names: for example, in Gaelic Katrina becomes Caitríona.

I would recommed www.babynamesofireland.com for this question, which not only gives you Irish names but their pronunciation. The owner of the site, Martin, grew up in Ireland and is very reliable, replying to questions one-on-one if you email him.
