How do you pronounce Saoirse?
I'm just guessing that Aisling is pronounced phonetically(AYS-ling?)
I'm trying to find the article and I can't...it does not take into account different spellings, and IIRC they were Ann, Elizabeth, Nicole, Jo, Grace, and either Kay or Rose (or maybe both and it was 7?).
Name Nerds has a good article on middle names. I find it interesting that boys are usually given family names as middle names, but girls are usually given "filler" names. My middle name is Eileen, and I gave my daughter an interesting middle name too - Theta.
#1 Marie
#2 Rose
#3 Elizabeth
#4 Anne
#5 Lynn
#6 Grace
#7 Anna
#8 Nicole
#9 May
#10 Christine
But they have discounted 100's of perfectly good names...none of which are goofy or a detriment of any kind.
Golfgal, I guess all we had to do was wait a while for the really goofy names to be mentioned. It did take 4 months, thoughI really like the names Kadalyn Alexia (kade-uh-lyn) and Avery Jayde. You can put either of those first names with the middle name of your choosing. A few other names I recommend are Emilee,Jayden,Karlea,Madilyn,Raleighn,Kourtlea,McKenna,Alexandra,Faith,Alexia (lexi), McKynlea,Brenna,Akiera,Grace,Lydia,Senecca,Natalea,Brooke,Makaila,Maddie,Peyton,Destiny,Payson, and Peytlea.
For boys I like Masen Gage and Carter Alexander. I also like Zadyn, Cameron, Aidan, Hayden,Carson,Ethan,Landon, and Triston.
Saoirse - seer-shah
Aisling - ash-ling (or softer more like ash-lin)
That's interesting. My DD's middle name is my last name.Name Nerds has a good article on middle names.

My middle name is Eileen, and I gave my daughter an interesting middle name too - Theta.

My guess is that the "97" in that poster's username is the year of her birth. The list has quite the tween feel to it.I don't know how someone could like Grace (lovely classic) and Paysonconfused
. Destiny is a total pole dancer name (or maybe perfume).

I love your name!
Ash-leen! That's what I was trying to figure out how to write, like a cross between -ling and -lin. Sometimes my brain don't think so good.![]()
Thank you.
When I was little I use to say to grammy "but there's a g in my name!" And she'd say " I AM sayin' the g, darlin'" It's just stayin' up on the roof of me mouth!" That Irish brogue had a mind of it's own.
My grandmother's name was Lillian Ruth. I always liked the way the Ls and Rs resonated, and the soft, flowing Lillian seemed to get a backbone with strong, determined Ruth.
They are all so kreatyv and t'rendeigh.
