I'm looking for Irish names for sweet, sweetie, sweetheart, etc. In my internet search I found the names "Cariad" and "Moire" and I wanted to double check their meaning and get a pronunciation for them. Any other suggestions would also be welcomed. |

Cariad is a Welsh word which means love. Moire is a form of the name of the Virgin Mary in Scottish Gaelic. As far as I know it isn't a term of endearment. Learn Irish pronunciation here: www.phouka.com/gaelic/sounds/sounds.htm & http://fsii.gaeilge.org/

I'm looking for actual names that mean sweet. I'm trying to find a name for a female Wheaten Terrier and because they are Irish and very sweet dogs I would like a name that means sweet (or some version of it). |

How about Dílis (DEE-lish). It means faithful, beloved, loyal or Binneas (BIN-yus) - sweetness or Muirnín as above |

Binneas > sweetness when talking about a sound or music, as far as I know. Learn Irish pronunciation here: www.phouka.com/gaelic/sounds/sounds.htm & http://fsii.gaeilge.org/
