[Facts] Re: Article on top names in Ireland in 2006
Interesting article! Seems that Irish parents are less influenced by celebrity names than English ones- I've met young children named Britney, Paris and Lindsay over here!
I'd imagine that part of the sudden usage of Aoibheann and Aiobhinn might be attributed to a rise in popularity of names like Evie/Evelyn in the UK as a whole. Perhaps parents are looking for a name which sounds similar to these popular options, but is also a bit more unusual?
