    Why though?

    Surely it's better than Derval?

    I think it's a really individual name, but not in a traveller/hippie way.

    It's just that when I think of someone named Dearbhla I think of a rich white girl with a bit of an ego about her. This is obviously not true for most Dearbhlas. It's just that I go to Trinity (I know, I know) and every second fúcking female there is named "Dearbhla" or "Aoife".

    Before I get bashed for being a Trinity student, even I think there's a huge amount of wánkers there.

    The name Dearbhla always reminds me of a heavy diesel truck for some reason. Don't like the name or any Irish name given to a person from an obvious Anglophone background in Ireland. Its too prentitious.

    I think most people have forgotten the case where Mr. and Mrs. Peacock named their son Drew

    Drew Peacock...:rolleyes:

    My best mates boyfriend works with a guy called Christopher. Not so bad til you add in the surname Peacock. Again not so bad until you realise that all his friends call him Chris.

    Really hate most Irish names myself and feel it is unfair to lumber a child with a name that not even other English speaking countries will be able to understand.

    That said was proud when my son Jacob Marley took an old Irish Christian name for his confirmation: Feckin.

    I'm dreading the day where some absolute weapon ends up inserting either an '@', # or . into someone's name. :cool:

    I wonder how many Rihannas there are in Ireland and the UK now?
