    This is a real name of a boy in a Laois town I came in contact with through work.

    Mustafa Shi*ta.

    I kid you not. The Shi*ta family were all library users.

    Another boy who had moved from the Carribbean to Laois (I know from the sublime to the ridiculous) was called Canary. Seems to have been named after the wrong islands.

    Full name Canary Bento.

    In college I had a classmate with a really poetic, cool name.

    Elliott Milton.

    Sounds sophisticated but he was a real country chap from Clare.

    Denis and Denise brother and sister, not twins. Eldest is called Colin youngest is called Marie.

    Joshua, Chantelle, Farrah, Freya, Aurora, Joyce, Aimee, Ferdia, Fiachra, Fintan, Fionn are just some names I don't like.

    I worked in the libraries all my life, come across some extraordinary names where I tried desperately to look serious when some new patrons would register for cards. One colleague was in the very warm-hearted habit of saying “welcome (first name) to the library service, may I guide you to shelves...” , but when it came to one of the Jesus’, he kind of hiccuped on saying it out!

    I don't mind some Irish names, but like some other posters here I'd have to say I dislike the majority of them. Also don't like Shakira, Kayden, Nikita, etc.

    It's one of those annoying names; especially as the majority of children with that name are girls; when it's a boys' name. Same as Sasha/Sacha and Aubrey. :D

    Elton must have confused people with that music video!
