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

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

corner of hells · 31-01-2021 6:59pm

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.

Just got sent a screenshot of a child who has been christened, no joke, "Banks".

Brother of Post Office, cousin to Library no doubt.

Six from the same woman - Molly Rose, Daisy Mae, Lilly Belle, Poppy Grace, Rosey and Posey.

Not making this up.

Xander is short for Alexander usually. I know its popular in Holland. Not so much in English speaking countries, but there was a Xander in Buffy which is where I heard it first.

I've always liked Bridget as a name. Just goes to show you can't please everyone!

I really hate "Alfie".

You are basically advertising your working class/chav background. The amount of times I hear young boys having "Alfie" shouted at them is unreal- usually fat smoking skanks with badly dyed hair with an abundance of tattoos.

Jeremy Kyle will be full of Alfies in about 20 years.

Seems you can spell it with or without the 'h'. She was a saint, killed by her father - patron saint of mental illness and anxiety. It's Damhnait in Irish which means "poetess".

In all honesty what do ye think of the name Fionnuala? I'm not preg and don't have a daughter called that but I really like the name, is it too old sounding for 2021?

.

I had a dog called Alfie/ Alfred/ Alfredo/ come here now/ FFS!! Depending on what he was up to.

But I do like the name, I wouldn't have though of it as a chav name. I don't think I know anyone around here called Alfie

I know a couple of Alfies and they are from very middle class families.

I hear the name and immediately imagine a gin addict from Foxrock.

I am in England and it has definitely been taken over by the less desirables.
