    I've seen a couple of little Irelynn's online. The -lynn ending makes it cuter. Obviously.

    Fair enough if the Americans could say the bloody word properly it wouldn't be too bad of a name.

    Recently came across one I had never heard before - Atticus.

    Presumed it was something from Harry Potter, but apparently he was a Greek philosopher. Would certainly stand out amongst the boys in our local national school.

    I’d associate it with Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird.

    I read this earlier and thought of this thread.
    Seventeen year old Gypsy is having a tough time with Facebook deleting her profile as her name is a “racial slur”.

    Facebook/Instagram pages for businesses who do personalised clothing are absolute gold mines for knackery kid names. Came across the following all on one page this morning:

    Prezzi-Jai
    Raiya
    Kolby
    Kaizer
    Skyler
    Mason
    Ruby May

    I see your Arlo and raise you two Arlos. I know two completely separate people who have named their sons Arlo in the past year.

    Gobnait and Cranait are popular girls names in gaeltacht areas. Do they actually hate their children?

    I like the name Arlo. I love quirky names and am surprised that my son's name hasn't appeared on this thread. I know someone with a Fletcher.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,835 ✭✭✭dennyire


    Love Arlo Guthrie's music. Son of Woody Guthrie. The train they call New Orleans was a classic

    Is that meant to be Kieran with a trendy, modern spelling (ironic, when you consider it's already an anglicised version of Ciaran) or is it supposed to sound like a sci-fi villi an?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,564 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    It sounds like "My parents are morons"

    Maybe the child is as ugly as the Ssang Yong SUV of the same name?

    That really is a terrible name. My 90yo old school teacher was called Gobnait so it's been around for ages.

    I just saw a baby Jackxson on Facebook, it hurt my head ... just call the child Jackson, or (if you must) Jaxon ... Jackxson, what an absolute monstrosity of a name.

    I know a couple who named their son Jackson, which isn't a usual name in Ireland but I got corrected on the spelling - it's Jaxon. Fair enough. It's a pretty popular name right now even though I think it spells like a cleaning fluid but Jackxson??? Why would you do that to a child. I know there is a push in the last five/ten years for kids to have a Younique name it's getting ridiculous.

    I just came across a "mommy blogger" (puke) whose kids are called Kyle, Noa Belle, Briar, and Milla.

    Reminds me of this legend:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,184 ✭✭✭riclad


    I read skylar or skyler is a name used in america,
    also heard a podcaster call their son xandar.
    There,s no way that child will not be bullied at school .
    Americans now just seem to take random letters and make up names,
    its not as if theres not a 100 old names to use like joe, jack, john,
    etc
    Alot of kids are named after characters in tv show,s .

    Close. It was a character in married with children.

    I just came across a "mommy blogger" (puke) whose kids are called Kyle, Noa Belle, Briar, and Milla.
    I just looked up the name Briar, because that stood out in particular as a rotten name to impose on a child. One of the parents have to have been coerced into agreeing to that.
    Anyway, as I said I looked it up. If you were unsure about it, according to this website these names are similar to it:
    Braxon
    Trillian
    Haruki
    Frost
    Halston
    Harlem
    Windsor
    Kaiser
    Pippin
    Tomasz
    Camerron
    Kealan
    Kolin
    Zadin
    Silvestro
    Ashtine
