    I want to know what are peoples reasons for not liking particular names. Most I can understand, but names like Keith or Deirdre which were mentioned in a previous post I do not understand.

    Maybe that poster had a bad experiance with people with those names.

    Irish language names, like Irish language schools have now went mainstream. But say 10+ years ago were largely either:

    a. Tiocfai's .. raving nationalists/republicians OR
    b. Hiberno-Cosmopolitans D4 types...uppity

    Gethan is a welsh name, as far as I know, can be male or female, many years ago met a girl named Gethan Dick, not a word of a lie! Oh how I had to hold the giggles in.

    Mercedes is a popular name in Spain. The car was called after the manufacturers daughter (Mercedes).

    I googled this in case anyone is interested.

    A wealthy banker-sportsman Emil Jellinek of Vienna was much impressed by the success of the Daimler motor in racing competition. He purchased controlling stock interest in Daimler in the early 1890's and put nearly unlimited funds at the disposal of Gottlieb and Daimler's two sons, Paul and Adolph. It was Jellinek who encouraged Daimler in his idea to create what was to be the most powerful car of its day, a 35 h.p. Monster.

    Mercedes JellinekIn 1900 the 4-cylinder Daimler was completed and the car was christened in honor of Emil Jellinek's beautiful daughter, Mercedes. The new car was an immediate sensation. From its flaring front fenders, rakish rearward sloping steering column to the T-head type cylinder construction and twin carburetors, the Mercedes was a beauty and did justice to its namesake.

    I know a friend who named their little girl Angel. Angel has a friend named Destiny (spelled Destynee) and they have a friend called Taquila (like, for real) They were all at a party together and i could not believe my ears.

    They're all going to be hitting the poles hard in about 20 years (hopefully that long)

    Or, shock!, one other possibility:

    c. People whose families have always had Irish names, because they're from Ireland.

    My mother's family have mostly Irish names.

    I could understand (maybe) disagreeing with giving your child a very unusual Irish name like Cúchoigríche, but seriously guys Diarmaid, Séamus, e.t.c. are names people have had in this country for centuries. I work in an international context and have never had a problem with the Kazakh, Chinese, Japenese, e.t.c. names I encounter. I'll usually make an arse of them, sure, but so what? The arguement that Ireland has the English language as well so we should use "normal names", what ever they are, is pretty weak as well, several countries are bilingual, trilingual, with names taken from all the languages.

    That reminds me.

    There once was a emigrant girl who saw an add for success in Harlem. If you want to experience success, go to Apartment 123, xyc building it said. She went there, climbed the stairs, arrived panting and knocked on the door. This big black man answered. Hi, I'm " CESS", he smiled.

    My mom's friend's a headteacher. Said she had a woman enrol her son in the school once.

    'His name's goo-ey'
    'Goo-ey, ok. How's that spelt?'
    'G. U. Y'

    Guessing she saw it in a book and decided to spice it up? A lot of my mom's students had completely made up names, anything ending in eece/ice/maine - Charlamaine, Shardeece, Cheldice. Just random letters thrown together.
