Niall ... would I pronounce it "Nile" (like the river)? Or, "kneel", like the names Neil or Neal? I work with a nurse whose grandson is Aidan, and I like that name. I have a friend at church whose name is Ian. I like Ronan - it sounds very regal and dignified. And I definitely can't botch it up like I can with Niall. Is Aodhan similar to Aidan, I wonder? Going back to Niall ... my best friend from high school is 100% Dutch. Her granddad's first name is Cornelius, and his family calls him Grandpa Neil.
