No real irish person would spell sean with a W, and any irish girl with that name would be doomed to a miserable life of teasing. |

traditional names like Aoife,Eithne,Niamh,Maeve & Aisling are popular for girls. I know boys called Connor,Colm,Kieran,Aidan & Liam
Some names that are considered 'irish' in the USA/Canada areconsidered more 'stage Oirish' by the true Irish--such as Erin,Shannon,Shawna,Caitlin & Colleen. Much more common in the US than Ireland, though they are found on occasion in Ireland due to the influence of tv/film.
Caitlin is a particularly interesting one, as in North America it is always pronounced Kate-lynn. In Ireland it's the Gaelighe version of Kathleen & is pronounced something like 'Katchleen.' |

Christine
|
Probably Ciara or Aoife, maybe Siobhan,
for boys - Conor, Liam or Stephen |
