I'm convinced the name Gobnaith originated on boards...only place I have come across it.

My son was born in 2013 and his name isn't an option.

Just realised 3 or more records have to be made.

Sciprio

My name is not even on the list.

Rubberlegs

My name was quite popular years ago, there were a few of us in the same class at school. I never hear of children with my name nowadays. It's not a bad name, but I'd consider it to be a bit old fashioned.

Antar Bolaeisk

It seems that my name has been in complete decline, it's now only at 30% of it's 2004 value. Can't say it's such a bad thing, there's too many of us about, work is so lousy with us that we're all referred to by initials!

Mine seems to be still quite popular.

Mine a very well known Irish name but not particularly common, I'd imagine it was more popular years and years and yeeeeaaaars ago. Not so much now, but I like it

Nuala.

Or Nualadaisydoodles esquire.

My name didn't make the list. Not surprised as it's far more common in the english speaking world - excluding Ireland.

Jaysus boys, didn't we have a President in the 70s called Cearbhall O'Dalaigh! He's the one who resigned because some guy called him a thundering disgrace...

Dr.Winston O'Boogie

Absolute muppets who named their daughters Rhianna around 2008/2009 (presumably because of the singer).

It seems my extended family are the only ones with their heads screwed on when it came to naming their children in the same time-scale as the study.

Proper, tradtionally normal Irish names and not a Harper Seven, North, Apple, Brooklyn or other celebrity nonsense in sight.

He was actually called a 'thundering b0ll0cks' by Paddy Donnegan.

The media just changed it to disgrace because b0llocks is too rude a word for the gentle folk of Ireland to deal with.

I've seen that mentioned before, is there a good link for proof? That would be most un- parliamentary language

I've never met anyone else with my first name, but I've heard of others.

It's not a stupid 'new' one, or a trad Irish one. I usually shorten it to something more mainstream.

PLL

Not on the list even though it's an Irish name, that only Irish people seem to have ever heard of/pronounce. I have only known of two other people with my name. It's really uncool. Popular in the 1940's I think. I like that about it in a way, but its not the prettiest. Everyone calls me the shortened version anyhow.

Edit: Just checked my daughter's name and it's in decline, happy days! I hate popular names, would you want to have a name like everyone else.

Wow very unique!!

Filmer Paradise

Igor surprisingly popular.

In 2011 there were 40 Igors born.:eek:

Flick the switch boys!!!!:D

"Others names have rocketed from obscurity: for example just three Masons were registered in 2004. Fast forward a decade and there were 201 boys with that name." - Irish Times


erm that would be due to Kourtney Kardahian naming her son Mason in 2009. Which IMHO is sad.

Kat97

Not on the list at all and I would consider my name to be common enough! Maybe not anymore..

I'd read it in a few different places over the years, but found this link to say it was actually 'thundering disgrace'

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/my-part-in-downfall-of-a-president-over-the-thundering-disgrace-debacle-26278871.html

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to any thundering b0llockses I may have inadvertently offended

There is some debate over O'Dalaigh's reason for resigning. Some say he was so incredibly bored and bewildered by the office in which he found himself, that he saw the controversy as a handy exit strategy.

Remember, in those days, the presidency was a far less public role. Presidents did not engage in the level of charity and community projects with which they are now associated. They were effectively imprisoned in the Phoenix Park, which was a culture shock to gregarious outgoing men like Cearbhall O'Dalaigh, who loved and were acquainted with the rough-and-tumble of political life.
