Husband was dead set on Sebastian if I was having a boy this time. My mum likes it too. When he said it to his mum she said... "You must be joking!" but we love it. Found out we're having a girl this time tho so Sebastian or Jaime will have to wait
.
We named our first Thomas, after my Dad who passed away when I was 16. It's a little old fashioned and I don't think many people thought much of the name but it had a lot of meaning for us. And now he doesn't look like anything else but a little Thomas. 0 -

Love the name Thomas... I too name my little bear cub after my Dad, who is still with us, Brendan. Which I think is a good strong mans name... like that I don't think many thought much of his name saying it was abit old for a baby.
Unfortunately they don't stay babies for long so I thinks it's important to give a good strong name an not a cutesy cutesy name as they do grow up!!! Just like my now 2 year old Brendan, suits him lovely
(full title no shortening to Ben, Brenny etc...BRENDAN is his name) 0 -

Another one who named after their Dad, my little man's name is Joseph. I think it's a solid name that's not too common but can be recognised in most countries. That said though day to day he's called Joey, which I think reflects his cheeky little personality :P0 -

Mad to see all the love for Noah, that was our name in case our little girl turned out to be a boy! Seems like there could be a rash of them starting school in 5 years time!
There's some mental names in our kids school but I was surprised to hear Sebastian as it's a name I liked but haven't heard in years outside of the band.
And if you're going to use Eoin, spell it properly. Eoghan is the Welsh spelling, not the Irish one.

Some people have strange preferences. What's the story with the love for Noah? The poor kid would get an awful teasing at school. And someone mentioned Setanta
Best to stick with traditional simple names in my opinion.
David, Connor, Stephen, Michael, Matthew, Colm, Damian, Brendan, Ian.......
There are plenty which aren't common. There's no need to resort to mythical Irish or biblical names.0 -

Know a few Noah's and none of them get teased...
If people (family) ask we tell them if it's a boy we're naming him Ichabod... we had a bad experience when telling the name of one of our other children and changed it at the last minute.0 -

I know a Jeroen. Apparently I'm the only Irish person who pronounces it right that he's met.
Most people go with Yer-owen, but there are heaps of folks who call him Ger-Owen. 0 -

There is nothing wrong with Biblical names! Just don't call your child Jesus, that would be a step too far! Although it does happen!
FYI Matthew and David are Biblical names.0 -
I'm failing to see how a child could possibly be mocked for being called Noah Its a very recognisable name, its in the top 10 in the UK and the US and people are familiar with it because of the bible. Don't see any teasing opportunities at all 0

We named our little one Sebastian. ..I picked the name out of nowhere and it just fit. I was so worried what people would think but everyone has loved it (or lied haha! ) and his namw really suits him!Husband was dead set on Sebastian if I was having a boy this time. My mum likes it too. When he said it to his mum she said... "You must be joking!" but we love it. Found out we're having a girl this time tho so Sebastian or Jaime will have to wait.
