Origin: (Jamaican, Japanese)
Pronunciation: (Eye-ree,
IE-ree (Jamaican Patois), Ee-ree-eh (Japanese))
Gender: Uni-Sex
I have a new friend from England
named Cameron *see on list of posts* and well his middle name is Irie. When I first saw the name I
thought it would be pronounced like eerie like that is so eerie but it is
actually eye-ree which makes sense and sounds a bit better but I still want to
say eerie, again it’s my American brain that just gets stuck on a certain
pronunciation and won’t give it up, lol!
It is Jamaican but I found evidence
of it maybe being Japanese as well and even found a Japanese pronunciation. I
really love the laid back go with the flow no worries man meanings a lot as it
is so much the Jamaican vibe! I can get a very island flare alls good feel with
this name and I really like that a lot! I can see a character with a very fun
active no worries personality that kind of surfs and travels the world a lot! When
I see it though I tend to see it as a female name but my friend is a male and
has it as his middle name as I said so I am putting this here as Uni-Sex so an
author can choose what gender they so choose for this character name.
All in all I really love this name
a bit more each day I hear it but as of right now I don’t see any characters I
have being named this and I tend to try and stay clear of certain names of
friends of mine but there have been exceptions so if the right character shows
themselves this may be a name that fits said character!

Side note: This is my 1000th
post and I am super excited about it! This is an amazing milestone to have
reached! Thank you so much to all of my followers and blog readers alike! Here
is to hoping I have 1000+ more character names in me to add, lol! ;~)
