Naoise for a girl, and she would be about 40 now. Obviously not Jim Fitzpatrick fans. They heard the name and liked it.

My milkman is a Waterford boy and tells me his daughter’s middle name is Deise. He’s told Croatian missus that it’s an old Irish princess!!

Mind you I worked with a couple years ago who had two kids - Lukas and Leia, took the husband years to twig the meaning, not a sci-fi fan!!

Always curious as up how many of those there are out there!!!

I met a lad who called his son Cullen, after the mythical warrior Cuchulainn.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that Cullen was the name of the chieftain who had his hound killed by Setanta
(Setanta then became Cuchulainn - which means The Hound of Cullen).

I never actually knew that!

xander, its sounds like a sci fi character .
this was mentioned in a podcast ,eg my son xander is smart.
Elon musk sons name is weird, X Æ A-12 , but i suppose when you are rich you can get away with almost anything.
there are certain names that are only used by north american black parents.
i think people in america can just use almost any word as a name as long as its not offensive .

You think a child of Elon Musk has to submit a CV at some point in life?

Poncke · 31-01-2021 04:09PM

The name is actually X Æ A-Xii, as X Æ A-X12 is not allowed as per Californian law, can't have numbers in there now... other than that its fine........................

Brid, or Breege, has to be the worst name going.

I've also never met a Brid, Breege, Bronagh, from Dublin. Rural folk seem to have a monopoly on crap Irish names.

Funnily enough there are plenty of first names in Dublin that are quite popular (George, Freddie, Audrey, Derek, Wes) that down the country would almost exclusively be used only by Protestants.

I would've thought Derek was used quite a lot by Irish people and I would've considered Wes a neutral name.

Also, Dublin must have a large enough, and well assimilated, Protestant community. Could be a possibility that if you know a George, Freddie or Audrey, they are indeed Protestant.

Whatever chance in life Clayton has , the other poor fcuker has none.

Names like Jackson, Jaydon etc always annoy me. But then again usually the parents aren;t the sharpest tools in the box

Wynterblu and Zion , brother and sister.

I have worked with 5 different Dereks, all outside of Dublin. The funny thing about them is that all, except one, are very small, height-wise. Probably just a coincidence.

There's a lot of Dympna's in Ulster. Mervyn is another name popular with the Protestant community there.

I think it comes from the shortented russian name Tatiana, which originally came from Roman times. Its not the worst.

The worst kid's name you've ever heard?
