I was coaching soccer in a place in Utah last summer. They were big into their college football team there, the Bingham Young Cougars.

So we have to write the names of each kid on the soccer ball, we give them at the start of camp. One comes up to me, I ask him his name.

...''Cougar''

Didn't realise he was serious. Almost reported his parents for child cruelty.

A 5 year old in my child's class is named Sadhbh - what a curse. Guaranteed she'll change it to "Sally" or something more pronouncable as soon as she has to deal with people in the real world.

That's not an unusual name, there's loads of girls called Sadhbh.

I hate when people complain about Irish names.

A woman up the road called her son Brooklyn and her daughter Posh. I wish it wasn't true!

The opinions on here are very varied...I tend to like Irish names as they're specific to our country. Names mentioned here like Tristan, Keith, Deirdre, Eithne and Angus are all Celtic names and I think they're all grand... my brother-in-law is Keith and he was named after Keith Moon from The Who which is pretty cool I reckon.

Azureus

My brothers middle name is Clint. I always thought that was pretty unfortunate.

I personally think the worst name going is Vogue. Why?!

pow wow

When I was living in America I knew a girl called Chaste-lynn (pronounced how it looks) whose dad was a pastor. From what I knew of her she wasn't waiting til her wedding night if you know what I mean, much as I'm sure her dad hoped she was

If your Irish you should have an Irish name. Foreign names are inferior. You don't see many French people with english or german names, or Italians with non-Italian names.

Would the majority of Irish people not be able to pronounce names like Seán, Aoife, Tomás etc?

So we should have names that were invented in Ireland or we should use only use foreign names if they are translated into Irish?

I have a friend called ebony.. She's as pale as Robert Pattinson..

But I do agree with all the people saying Britney, Rhianna and Beyonce, I've heard them too and my skin crawled..

Could be worse though, I have a cousin back in Italy and she was named "Azzurra".. Sounds exotic, right? They basically called her "Blue"...

Its the stupid armerican/british popstar baby names that do my head in.

Theodora for a girl, double barreled first name too which adds up to 15 letters, 5 names in total (including surname) for the complete name.

Other names I know of,
Alicia-keys Dunne (named in '04)
Shaniqua,
kasey,
Tristan,
Boy called Kevin-keith Kelly (some serious initials!) parents couldn't decide on first name.
A baby officially called Brenner! Why not call him Brendan and let him have some hope!

Some names I like,
Brazilian family member is called juyno,
Cora and Leila, Not because of futurama either!

Knew a guy called usher before the singer came about,gone off it now though.

I like Irish names too, not all of them are suited to kids and can be a task in itself for the kids to spell when young.

There used to be a Garda I knew who was named Anselm.

I can't even say it, I think everyone just called him Aslem.

Not strictly true. Lots of the french names are interchangeable between English and French (Thomas, Nathan, etc) and Enzo has been in the top 10 boys names for the last 5 years.
