It's a beautiful peaceful place, that I've been referring to as my own private island. So I've decided to name it something like Peaceful Island. Does that help?

Some ideas for "Peaceful Island": An tOileán Síothach An tOileán Suaimhneach Both means "The Peaceful Island". I amn't sure but I've a feeling that it works better in Irish with the article included. Definitely wait for more opinions, please. _________________ Tá an domhan uile ina stáitse agus teastaíonn cleachtadh go géar ón mórchuid againn. -Seán Ó Cathasaigh ___________________________________ The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep. ___________________________________ Iúil Ó Cofaigh

I've been trying to be too literal! My new farm is truly my peaceful island, on the inside! It's where I go to find peace, not an actual island, therefore a literal translation just didn't fit. It may seem Hoakie, or too commercial, but the perfect name has been staring me in the face, and the heart, all the time. The new farm is Innisfree. Yeats was seeking internal peace, so am I. It's perfect. Thanks to all who tried to help!
