Irish Babies' Names
2012
Five most popular babies' names
Boys Girls
Name Count Name Count
Jack 831 Emily 626
James 773 Sophie 577
Daniel 683 Emma 497
Sean 677 Grace 461
Conor 639 Lily 449

The top five boys’ names (Jack, James, Daniel, Sean and Conor) have made up the top five since 2007. Four of the top five boys’ names (Jack, Sean, Conor and James) have been in the top five since 1998, with only their order changing from year to year.

Stop calling boys John and its varients - Jack, Jake etc!!! There's far too many of them already! Give us a bit of variety! (Maybe our recent immigrants will fix this.)

When I was at school it was guaranteed that there would be at least 2 Annes, 2 Marys, 2 Johns, and maybe 2 Davids in each class. Or maybe the OP would prefer a choice of 3 names each for either sex? We could go the The Poor Mouth way, and have all boys called "Jeremiah O'Donovan".

Brigid is pretty awful alright. My gran was called Brigid and even she insisted on being called Maeve instead.

My name keeps coming up in top baby names, even though it's fairly old-fashioned.

Funnily enough we live in Germany and one of my mates who is always quick witted instantly replied to my suggestion of "Riddick" by suggesting the kids second name should be Julius. Pronounced "yoo-lee-us" in German this very much did give the name "Riddickyooleeus".

It was funny at the time, and amazingly fast thinking when he came out with it.

Dunno really. Someone should ask Riddick Bowe how his childhood went I guess.

I only suggested the name to my partner as a joke to wind her up a bit. it became an ongoing joke. And now it has been ongoing so long I find myself actually semi attached to the name

Nigella......otherwise known as Nidge-eile.

Everyone called Nigel just has to be Nidge now!
Everyone called Francis or Frank will become Fran a lot of times too.

My friend has a little girl called Darcie - it's gorgeous, but only because she lives in London, where the pronounciation is 'D-or-cie'
When she comes home on hols, it changes to 'D-arse-y!'

When I was in primary school (Germany), there were 4 Susannes in my class.
When I went to secondary, there where 6 (!) Karins in a class of 25...

I like the name Caoilinn but it seems it's not a very liked name.

I would have to say anything that sounds trashy: Damien (Damo), Lee, Jordan, Shauna, Stacy.

Let's not forget the diabolical version of that, Brid, although it should be spelled Breedge. Everyone with this name also has the surname Murphy...

Yeah, he was the rhino leader in it.

There was also a Cornelius in one of the episodes of The Simpsons who broke free from Springfield's Retirement Castle and went on a bit of a bender.


Grace is another name that no child should ever be called. Stop with the religious names.

I've known, from memory, ten Slovak girls down the years.

One was named Gabriela.

The rest were evenly split three a piece between Zuzana, Lucia and Jana :pac: I wonder has naming kids after US and UK celebrities/ song titles caught on there like it did here from the 80's onwards.

HansHolzel

Cosmo/Cosimo/Cosima is another dreadful one, to be found among the children of celebrity luvvies.

In that group one also finds Tarquin, Cressida, Coco, Dashiell, Aleph, Arlo, Caspar, Magnus, Milo, India, Tallulah, Violet, Sasha and Rex.

PS My own fav worst nightmare combination is Rachel Griffith's kid: Banjo Patrick.

I suppose it may come down to which country your in. For instance my niece is called Audrey but she's French so the name suits her because of the way they say it and not long drawn out the way we would say it. My mother was baptised Margaret but was always called Gretta and her cousin named Margaret(what is it with irish family's all calling their offspring the same name)but she was called Molly(love that name)! I hated my name(Helena) when I was young living in Scotland I would get called Lena or even Ena:eek: What constitutes an old fashioned name when names go in and out of fashion I wonder?
