Donagh -- cute
Cillian -- i like this one too
Ronan -- on my own PNL. one of my personal favorites.
Ciaran -- never liked this, whether it's pronounced the original gaelic way or the modern way.
Donnacha -- sounds too much like Annaka. which is cute, just not masculine.
Daragh -- just nms

---

Girls:
Roisin -- i know it's pronounced "Rosh-een", but whenever i look at it i see raisen.
Brianna -- not my style. kinda boring.
Meabh -- really pretty!
Aideen -- almost exactly like Aileen, my own name! i like my own a little more (lol), but i really like this one, too
Aisling -- love it
Aoife -- i understand the gaelic pronounciation, but all i'm thinking is "oif"

I like Cillian (prefer Kilian), Ronan, Ciaran (prefer Kieran), Brianna, Aisling and Aoife.

Donagh (pr. DUN a or DONE a) - OK. Prefer Donovan.
Cillian - Lovely.
Ronan - Nice, but nms.
Ciaran - Gorgeous. I just love this name.
Donnacha (pr. DUN a kha) - OK. Don't think I'd use it.
Daragh - Prefer the spelling Darragh, but yes, it's lovely.

---

Roisin - Really pretty. I love it.
Brianna - nms, but not terrible.
Meabh - Gorgeous name. Prefer Maeve, to avoid any pronunciation error.
Aideen - It's pretty, but on someone else kid it would be alright.
Aisling - Too common, nms.
Aoife - Beautiful.

I like:
Ronan
Roisin
Meabh
Aoife

Donagh - it's okay

Donnacha - don't really like the sound of it, but I'd spell it Donnacadh
Daragh - like it. I like it spelled Darragh better.

Roisin - like it
Brianna - dislike it. It sounds okay, but it's way too popular
Meabh - like it
Aideen - don't really like it
Aisling - don't like it, reminds me too much of Ashley, which reminds me of snobby girls
Aoifa - it's okay, but I'd spell it Aoife

I love Aisling and Aoife, and both are also in my PNL. I also like Ciaran, Ronan and Cillian.

I don't like other names - Donagh, Donnacha, Daragh and Meabh all look very complex, Aideen and Roisin look mispelled and Brianna is just annoying.

Donagh - I love Donagh. I knew a lovely guy in school called Donagh. And it'd not to common here either is it?
Cillian - Don't like the cill - sound.
Ronan - I really like Ronán. I like the Ro sound and the meaning.
Ciaran - Love it but then it's my husband's name:)
Donnacha (pr. DUN a kha)- Donnacha with Donagh as a nn is a definite possibility if I ever have a son.
Daragh - prefer Dáire - it's my bro's name. Daragh is becoming a little very popular too.

---

Girls:
Roisin - love Róisín.
Brianna - dislike. Sounds faux Irish to me.
Meabh - I like Meabh.
Aideen - I have started liking Aideen lately probably because I like Aodh.
Aisling - Like the meaning shame it has become so popular.
Aoife - I like Aoife. Good strong name.

I like Brianna.
Ronan and Aoife is okay.

I love Ronan, Ciaran, Roisin, and Meabh (prefer the Maeve spelling, though).

---

Aoife is nice as well.

I like Brianna but spelt Breanna.
