My two kids are Darragh and Hollie, what do people make of these names? im interested in finding out

Darragh is fine, but "Hollie with an ie" isn't very nice. Also people with Christmassy names depress me, because it makes you think of Christmas in February-November, which I dislike

Harolds+

Paul, Jordan, Darren, Wayne, Dean, Jonathan,

Tracy, Sharon, Tanya, Debbie, Lisa, Michelle

Hector Grey wouldn't sell names as cheap and common as that

Grainne is a terrible name because of its ridiculous similarity to the irish word for ugly.

Really? What's so bad about Emma?

I don't like most Irish girl names (even though mine is one ): Gráinne, Ciara, Siún, Blathnaid, etc. I especially hate Sinéad.

I do like Niamh though which is my sister's name. She got the good name

Who's Conor and why did you *run*?

Quackles

My first son's name appears here, but my second does not. I guess, like anything with anything else, you get better at naming kids with practice. Also, 5 of my siblings names are here, but not mine - score!

Sir Gallagher

One of my mates' name's Daniel O'Donnell and he's only 20, we just call him Hank instead the reason being that however bad Hank sounds its still 100 times better than Daniel O'Donnell.

I hate Jon, just leave in the H for jaysus sake.

Also, anybody younger than 30 named Dermot.

The only Jon I know is really a Jonathan, if that makes you feel better.

I actually know a Bartholomew and an Ezekiel. Although the Ezekiel is from Africa.

Posy

Not keen on the name Wayne either.

Aidric

Fintan.
Gobhnait.
Chip.

MadelineNYC

They all sound like big woman names.

HAHAHAHA! BORTNEY!! I have to get a pet and call it that.

I managed to dodge a little bullet called "Carly Kavanagh".

Blisterman

I think by this point, 90% of people's names in Ireland have come up.

Thank god I was christened Blister. Nothing stupid about that name.

Good call on Nigel, there was a fella in my school called Nigel and he was just as odd as his name.

Twee.

My name hasn't come up. It's not a bad name at all, it just seems to be the new Emma/Sarah/Aoife.
Names I hate are Kelly, Annie, Daisy, Cheryl, Savannah, Summer...hmm, all girls names. I'll have to think harder about the boys.

The one which always comes to mind for me first is Dympna, not sure if I spelled it properly. Sounds even worse when spoken with a female scanger Dublin accent.

PrivateEye

Ulick. Fintan.

Starting to hate Eoghan, merely because when I think of the name all that comes to mind is:

A young lad with stupid hair from Norn Iron.
A slightly bonkers senator.

Congratulations. You're the first and only person on my hate-on-sight list. Haaappy?! :mad:

The water filter's Brita! You've gotta learn to listen! Not my fault they copied my name anyway...

Any I'm sure I hate your name as well. Humph.

Yeah calling your child Brain is putting a lot of pressure on them to do well in their leaving

Where's Pinky?

The Orb

Any name you hear being screamed at one of her litter by a hoopie wearing welfare sponging tracksuit wearing skanger as she attempts to light her last johnny blue before going into the shop to buy more chicken nuggets, usually named after a character on Home and Away or Neighbours....tyler, scott, summer...

Those awful wannabe French names (on non French people) like Chantelle, Dominique and Monique (the worst offender) - just scream cheap and chavvy. Ugh.
