Boys: Keith, Joshua, Nathan, Nigel, Tadhg, Scott, Christian, Ross, Colm, Colin, Leon, Ryan, Dylan, Samuel, Kyle, Noah (!)


Girls: Not many names that I dont like to be honest but some of them are ridiculously common. Others, like Isabel, might sound nice but sound pretentious aswell. Saoirse and Caoimhe used to be nice names but are overused now by D4 heads.

I hate my own name, Bernard. Both my grandfathers were Bernard and I was the first born so I was branded before I was ever even thought of!

I have to agree with you there. I have the same name as my father, grandfather and great grandfather!

It's a family tradition it seems or it could be just a lack of imagination! I think it's the latter!

So according to your reasoning, if you call your baby Clive then it is going to turn out to be a homosexual regardless!

ALL poor unfortunate creatures branded thusly are the products of parents who are mad, hurley-waving,bog-trotting,FF/SF voting types who think that they're somehow more Irish & patriotic than the rest of us.
In other words............MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guessing you have a boring run of the mill name like John lucky you!!:p

Something like that alright.
Thing is, is that over 40 odd years I never got slagging for it & everywhere I went, including abroad, everybody could spell/pronounce it.:)

Don't get the hatred for Irish names. Self-hatred has to be the national disease at this point.

That said...

"Síofra" means changeling, and that's an increasingly popular name.

There was also a thread in the Gaeilge forum about the pronunciation of a name, in which a guy wanted to call his daughter Aoibhe but pronounce it A-va instead of E-va (like it would be in Irish). Which was fine, but he went off on one about Gaeilgeoirs being pompous because they pointed out what it is supposed to sound like in Irish.


I suppose my point is that names aren't crap, people are.

segaBOY

The name Karluss

Seems a bit too intellectual for my liking

A fair point. I don't get it either. I wish I had an Irish name!

Nothing to do with the D4 craze of Irish names, I hate most of them just because they sound bad - I mean, say the name Grainne. It just sounds awful imo.

There are a few Irish names that are grand (Aisling, Caoimhe, Cian) but names like Fachtna, Fiachra, Oisin and Una just don't sound pleasant.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but judging by the posts on this thread, you seem to be in a minority.:)

Not alot of people like Irish names...well I'm all for them:D Although I was born In the U.S and the ways they said my name - HILARIOUS!!:) Sin- e- ad, Sign -aid. Priceless.

Don't like Sarah( too many people called sarah - but then again ...what can i say -Sinead?), Luke, Jack,Kate, Emma, Sean( Dont hate it...but overused completely),& Stupid names like holly, molly and surnames as firstnames - regan, kennedy.....

Thanks for the life story-I'll just file it away in my big filing cabinet :cool:

Soodlebum

DIARMUID. (pronounced jeer-mud). Had a piano teacher once with that moniker, and he picked his nose all the way through each lesson. God! I hate that name. Brings me out in a rash!!! Dermot is marginally less offensive. Pass me the calamine lotion!!:)

grainne - just the sound of it wrecks my head - sounds almost like 'groan'

Quentinkrisp

also, anyone i've ever known called 'Jonathan' hasd always been a seriously annoying, arrogant prick!sorry jonathan

Head_Hunter

Engelbert

Elliemental

Grianne (it sounds like a sexually transmitted disease).
Also hate feminised boys names, like Danielle for example. And Nigella ffs!

For boys, Jeremy, Quentin, and Tarquin are just stupid, stupid names.

stovelid

Killian or Jarlath.

Or any of the 'edgy' names bestowed on babies in the last few years. The kids in question will be called the Celtic Tiger Generation - a preposterous blip of Reubens, Milos and <insert made-up illegible Irish names> on the otherwise stable nomenclature graph of Pauls, Davids, Patricks and whatnot.

I predict mass deed poll activity in the coming years.

Heard a junkie calling her kid the other day. "Brooklyn, come here for **** sake" Posh Spice she most definitely was not

RealistSpy

I called some lad paddy and I swear he wanted to kill me, He taught I was being racist! Its not my fault I though 1 in 5 Irish males are called paddy. Sorry Am drunk!

Oh yeh
the name Oisin bad bad bad!

Banrion

Katie...... People need to stop calling their daughters this name. Its completely and utterly overused at this stage. Wait 50 years and it'll be grand again.
Oisin.....I just think of Tir na nOg and mist and ancient Celtic Ireland....

I dislike Mollly, Polly and all other baby names that wont look good when they're high powered, cut throat (maybe) business women.

If I had a daughter, Id be considering Mary...nobody calls their daughters Mary anymore and its a nice simple name. But a few people have mentioned it here.

Enii

Teresa

Tia, Mia, Nia, Lia

all people i know named Kim have always been a source of aggravation.

Not even a bit of potential no?

I hate those little girls names, like Maisy, Molly, etc...
They won't be happy with those monikers in a few years time.
Similarly, old women's names on babies. Ethel, Agnes, Angela (Old woman had a sweet shop down the road, all Angela's in my mind are 70.), Doris, Moira, and so on.
I also hate the name Nuala, but that's the fault of a particularly horrible aunt of mine. :mad:

salad dodger

Ghetto names get my goat!!

Shaneequa may be all well and good a name when you're from south central LA but not from bundoran where i heard it being hollered across a restaurant at some poor child a few weeks ago!!

Every Simon I've ever met in my whole life has been a total 24 carat w*nker. I shouldn't generalise I know but . . .it has been my honest experience over many years.
