Ciar谩n


Tadhg

Niamh


Saoirse


R贸is铆n


Aisling


谩ine


Clodagh


Eimear





Some names I wasn't sure to include like Conor and Kevin, which, although Irish in origin, are in the anglicised form.





(Btw, I don't where the other answerers are getting their stats, but I can confidently say that they are a load of shite :) )





If I've missed out any names, here's a list to my source:

Edit: That wasn't an attack on you Beetle :) More criticising the bandying about of random names like Cedric and Angus

Aoife-love the name by the way. Idk if you were referring to me about my stats but I listed the site. Idk how official this site is, it only states these are the top 100 baby names in Ireland, I am not in Ireland, I am in the US and this is all I went by when I chose my kids names. My husband has been to Ireland to visit relatives and he has a cousin that went to college over there but i really don't know that much about Ireland perse


I see that the site you list is from Ireland but the rankings do match





Aoife-thanks
