Also, Abhaighdha, what the hell? O.o

So bad, her chart actually has (pronounced Ava) on the front. Bitter resentment of parents would have to set in early with that one.

Bah I know someone who did just this! I think we all got texts announcing the baby's name so were all like "ah, to honour poor Kathleen that died, how lovely". Cue very pee'd off parents who couldn't understand why everyone was saying the kid's name "wrong".

It's only going to get worse after the whole Caitlyn Jenner thing.

Is it Caitlín? I fücking hate when it's spelled like that but pronounced Katelynn. Especially if the person is Irish.

They are all Katelynns in the US ............. regardless of the spelling

Worst I know of is a child born to English speaking but non Irish parents, they called him Bhailie. They said it means "home", and yes they thought it was pronounced Bailey and spelled it that way for some weird reason. I don't think I need to break this one down into all the wrongs in one wee word.

The "h" is silent?

Rihanna (Seriously)

Someone named their kid Rihanna Beyonce. The child is white and from D.10

I know someone called Shelby, sounds like a turtles name.

Hayden/Jayden/Kayden etc.

Shaniqua etc

Most celebrity kids names.

People probably don't like my daughters name though.

Eddison.

I've got a few 'best-worst' names as I like to call them

Twins called Brogan and Bailey
Ayisha (a very white little girl from Limerick, normally shouted "AYEESHAAAAA O'DONNELLLLL" In Penneys on childrens allowance day
And my personal favourite, overheard somewhere in Kerry, Briar (If**king****younot) Rose. Briar Rose.

Brogan and Bailey sound like solicitors.

...I love the name Sadbh, but I recently met a girl who pronounced it that way but spelt it Saidbhe. Just, why?

You spelled Sadhbh incorrectly too!

One of my sisters is called Sadhbh, it's a curse. She studied in the UK and had to resort to using her nickname, which is all she is known by anymore. I (Tadhg; my parents must have loved diphthongs) have a similarly unspellable name in the eyes of Johnny Foreigner and a similar experience, many of my colleagues call me by my initials.

If anyone is thinking of giving their kids Irish names, go ahead by all means, but try not to make it too difficult to spell or pronounce.

I hope your family name isn't Brogan etc

Briar Rose was the original name of Sleeping Beauty in the Grimm Brothers tale.

It's also a celeb baby name (Rachel Bilson / Hayden Christensen) which was likely the inspiration.

I know, I think that's why I couldn't cope that someone called their child that...it's all fine and well to have a princess' name when you're small and want to be a princess, but what about later in life? Madness!

Imogen

awful name to inflict on a child

Armchair Andy · 19-08-2015 07:15PM

Heard a woman ask her 3ish year old son in McDonald's on the Commons Road on the north side of Cork " What are you having Jackson?"in the local colloquial.

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Imogen ranks with Dympna/Concepta/Consilio - even just to say the word (you would probably introduce yourself as Immy or Gen (or Mary)- and Mary is a beautiful name:)

She could be one of the artsy-fartsy mummies from North Cork City that is a fan of Jackson Pollock

The #5 looks like the detritus washed up on the shores of Lamb's Lake after a particularly windy night.

How you?

Young ones calling their child Beyonce, Shakira or Rihanna is so cringeworthy. Do they not realize that child will have to face other children at school?

micar · 20-08-2015 05:56AM

Was out one night. Got chatting to this young country one called.......Rita.

Seriously, what were her parents thinking?

The only time I can remember hearing the name was some girl on one of the first big brothers, she was absolutely gorgeous.,

It's a pretty popular name in England and Wales, I think it's lovely

Nice to have your name forever quoted in a Beatles song!

quickbeam · 20-08-2015 06:54AM

Dolores - literally means sorrow. Who'd call their child that?

Sorry, but that's Ms. Havisham teritory. Your options are now down to: wicked stepmother or evil witch. Thems the rules.
