Cillian is a great name, can't believe it features here. But Killian is another story.

I'm sitting on the fence with macarten which is a monaghan name

April, Mai and June.

tfitzgerald · 28-11-2013 06:50PM

I can't stand the name Beyoncé

Cee-Jay-Cee · 28-11-2013 06:55PM

Martin. I absolutely hate the name, its so dull and I always feel that people christen their sons it because they couldn't be bothered to pick a better name.

Another tree truest awful names are

Aubrey (male)
Gertrude
Assumpta

And any males name that has had 'ine' or 'ette' or any other letters added to the end of it to make it feminine with the absolute worst being Pascaline!

Percy

Walter

The only name that should be outlawed is Derval - it's a horror

KKkitty · 28-11-2013 07:06PM

My name has propped up a few times on this thread

Though in fairness I wouldn't call a child that name now.

Sile dympna peig and fionnualla. Saying that I know a fionnualla and she is hot so I like the name on her.

mattjack · 28-11-2013 07:13PM

Deacon , I swear to the great spaghetti monster this name exists.

Little Deacon was running round a waiting room in the Children's Hospital today.

With a mother calling after him in a Cavan/Longford accent.

Turlough

Saw someone I'm acquainted with had a baby and called him Odin. I can't decide if that's ridiculous or awesome!

MurdyWurdy wrote: »

Oh, do you have a little Odin?

The one I know is not in Ireland. I'm still not sure about it but I'm guessing if I actually personally knew a baby with the name I'd def like it!

My Nephew is an Odin (Norse mythologial god of war)..... though he's always called Odie.......just like Garfields dog.

Shane-KornSpace · 28-11-2013 07:34PM

Lenor ( as in the fabric softener)

I **** you not. I heard a father calling his son by this name before!

Missyelliot2 · 28-11-2013 07:40PM

Where I live, Nathan is pronounced - NAY-HAN, Matthew - MA-CHEW, Róisín - Ro-SHEEN

Probably guess where I'm living.......great spot, but seriously screw up the above 3 names!!!

Stanley. One of the ugliest men's names ever.

I quite like traditional names generally, it's the D'shawns of the world that I feel sorry for, not the Williams.

My neighbour is called Stanley, his brother is Alfred and and their sister is Veronica, all in their late 20s.

Rosh -een. My daughters has the same name and we pronounce it Rosh-een. It bugs me when people call her Roe-sheen and I correct them on it.

Michael D Not Higgins · 28-11-2013 08:51PM

Gerald or Gerrard
Lorcan
Shauna
Stupid Irish names like Aifric, Beibhinn, Iseult, and some others already mentioned like Turlough

Roe-sheen would be the correct Irish pronunciation. But you're free to pronounce it anyway you want. Just be aware that most people would naturally say roe-sheen.

My personal bugbears are the names that we import from celebrity or American culture It just seems somewhat vacuous.

I never have heard the emphasis on the latter part of the name....it's the same with Ei-LEEN.

Just from different parts of the auld sod....the Matthew and Nathan pronounciations are brutal though!!:rolleyes:

In Munster Irish, the stress is on the end syllable, so EYE-leen still sounds a bit off to us down here.

First names nobody deserves to have in 2013
