Comments for the name Éanna

Pronounced AY-na. [noted -ed]

Ending in "a" makes this a sissy name for a boy. I prefer Ian for boys and Ianna for girls.

How does a name ending with an a suddenly make it for girls or "sissy-boys"? It's not like if you name a boy Eanna he's going to be a sissy by default. Not ALL masculine names that end with an a sound better on girls. Does Ira or Ezra sound nice on a girl? No, but that's just my opinion :) I'm sure that if you lived in a country where names ending with a were considered masculine, you'd think differently.

Actually, Ira is female name in some countries (Germany, Croatia etc.).
