There’s a boy in my nephew’s class in school called Leroy.

Whenever I hear the name I picture 6 foot 5 middle aged black man. This boy is 6 years old, weighs about 40lbs and his parents are accountants.

Can he do a man marking job and kick a few points?

Some GAA followers might think of Lee(Roy) Keegan. He would have been at his peak 6-7 years ago.

At least he can fall back on Lee.

I'm from a big family, and every time a new baby girl was born, my dad wanted to call her Heather or Ruth. Nothing wrong with those names, except with his thick Wexford accent, he pronounced them "Hedder" and "Rooot". Thank god he never got his way.

Was once studying Spanish abroad, there was an American girl, first name Delaney

I only spotted it when we went to register the birth. No way would the registrar move the fada one place to the right on the birth cert

I'm very sure the registry office has to accept your version of the name. My brothers name was incorrectly written down in the hospital, there was some polite words exchanged in the registry office as my parents went with a slightly different version.

He'll be 'Lucy' in the playground if he lets his guard drop.

His name is Rex.

Sounds like his dad would've preferred to get a dog.

I've always thought Chelsea was thick but now I've just seen Chelcee.
Are we meant to think "Ooo, that's clever" instead of "pretentious twit"?

Like what the actual fcuk

The CSO publishes statistics on all registered names in a given year. There were some great ones last year: we had Vuk, Zak, Dax, Brax and the aforementioned Rex.

Lots of names probably inspired by musicians and sports stars: Tyson, Clay, Idris, Bowie, Ziggy, Hendrix, and Drake. An Elvis and a Presley. One boy was called Azlan, probably not after the band. I like Ziggy though.

We had a Jamie-Lee and a Tommy-Lee, they must be the Curtis family.

There was a Carthage, a Virgil, and an Atlas; some Leonardos and Raphaels, a Byron and a Blake. More Romeos and Juliets again last year.

American names featured oddly highly. A few Chads, plenty of Staceys. Vernon, Earl, Parker, Hank, and Clint. These are children!
One kid was called Bo, presumably something to do with a Biden (there was also a Beauden).

Basil, Clive, Dudley, Edgar, and Norman – those lads came out of the womb reading Birdwatcher Monthly.

Tempting fate, some babies were named Wisdom, Victory, Glory, Fortune, and Divine.

Boys called Ella, Dawn, Marian, and Nana.

Some of them are just weird: Kaiser? Sheriff? Bear?

Short and sweet: St, Mc, Ze

Then there are the spelling issues.

Cairan, Cieran, Ciaron, Kiran, Keiran
Kylian
Brain, presumably meant Brian.
Taighe, Taidgg, Taigh, Tadgh (60 of those)

Some were very good.

I liked Bosco, Teidí and even Sionnach. I also like Timotei but wouldn't be keen to name the child after a shampoo.

Showing my age here, but "Lucien" reminds me of The Cramp Twins. As for "Vernon", that reminds me of Harry Potter's gammon uncle.
