I had a dream the other night where my 50-something year old aunt had a baby girl and called her Rush.

After thinking about it for a while, I have to admit it has a certain ring to it!

Nigel -guaranteed to be shortened to Nidge.

Nigella......otherwise known as Nidge-eile.

Brendan. Just can't like guys with that name. Makes me want to hit them. Never met a sound one.

Abagail...know a bloke with a daughter called this, I think even he realised the mistake as he calls her abbie.

Irish Babies' Names
2012
Five most popular babies' names
Boys Girls
Name Count Name Count
Jack 831 Emily 626
James 773 Sophie 577
Daniel 683 Emma 497
Sean 677 Grace 461
Conor 639 Lily 449

The top five boys’ names (Jack, James, Daniel, Sean and Conor) have made up the top five since 2007. Four of the top five boys’ names (Jack, Sean, Conor and James) have been in the top five since 1998, with only their order changing from year to year.

Stop calling boys John and its varients - Jack, Jake etc!!! There's far too many of them already! Give us a bit of variety! (Maybe our recent immigrants will fix this.)

When I was at school it was guaranteed that there would be at least 2 Annes, 2 Marys, 2 Johns, and maybe 2 Davids in each class. Or maybe the OP would prefer a choice of 3 names each for either sex? We could go the The Poor Mouth way, and have all boys called "Jeremiah O'Donovan".

Brenda or Bridget. Too old fashoned, get with the times likes.

Brigid is pretty awful alright. My gran was called Brigid and even she insisted on being called Maeve instead.

My name keeps coming up in top baby names, even though it's fairly old-fashioned.

Funnily enough we live in Germany and one of my mates who is always quick witted instantly replied to my suggestion of "Riddick" by suggesting the kids second name should be Julius. Pronounced "yoo-lee-us" in German this very much did give the name "Riddickyooleeus".

It was funny at the time, and amazingly fast thinking when he came out with it.

Dunno really. Someone should ask Riddick Bowe how his childhood went I guess.

I only suggested the name to my partner as a joke to wind her up a bit. it became an ongoing joke. And now it has been ongoing so long I find myself actually semi attached to the name

Everyone called Nigel just has to be Nidge now!
Everyone called Francis or Frank will become Fran a lot of times too.

My friend has a little girl called Darcie - it's gorgeous, but only because she lives in London, where the pronounciation is 'D-or-cie'
When she comes home on hols, it changes to 'D-arse-y!'

When I was in primary school (Germany), there were 4 Susannes in my class.
When I went to secondary, there where 6 (!) Karins in a class of 25...
