Have a lot of family in England, in the last few years we've welcomed Finley, Ernest and Archie (Archibald) into the world...Not my taste.
As a teacher though, it's almost a good thing for some different names to come around; having 20 boys called "Killian" or "Cian", or girls called "Sophie" gets old fairly quickly!!

I have four girls in my class with same pronunciation but different spelling!!!
Eva
Ava
Aoibhe
Eabha

and four Cormacs.

We had sisters at school called Shania and Shakira few years ago! Would they ever be the same or are there two different sets of parents out there that need a good box?! (It was in Cavan btw)

My sister in law is expecting her first, a boy, and has narrowed the names down to Hunter or Jett.

They're Gladiators, not kid's names ffs!

A cousin in the States has a young lad called Lexington, or Lex for short. Second name Theodore, God help him.

Road-Hog

I've heard 'sky' a few times recently....how hideous....imagine being named after a TV channel, Island off Scotland, the blue thing above us all or grey here in Eire...or how about a first name that just shouldn't go before a surname........one that comes to mind would be a guy called 'roger' with a surname of 'mee'.....

Taylor's okay for an American name. The others are horrible. Sutton?

Watching Wheel of Fortune here in the States with the folks. Three sisters from a family in the studio audience are named ... Rory, Ryan, and Reese.

This Irish blogger called Anna Saccone named her daughter Emilia Tommasina and her son Eduardo Jonathan. I hate double names in general but even more so when using names that have a male and female variety (as in Emilio/Emilia, Eduardo/Eduarda, etc.)

Among Irish girl names I really don't like Caoimhe, Grainne and Aine, mostly because of their pronunciation. And I recently heard Dervla for the first time, I would definitely have to add that one. As for boy names, Rory/Ruairí, Darragh, Fergal, Fionn and Barry are probably the ones I like the least.

I'm happy my name isn't "unique" or common after reading all your comments....!!
my Surname is very Irish, from Galway, and is always mistaken for "faty".... ffs!

Síofra is another name to add to the list of Irish names given to children by their gob****e parents - parents who then send them to Irish speaking schools to learn crucially important subjects like maths through Irish and then wonder why their child is a total idiot.
