Alec Baldwin and
Kim Basinger have a daughter named
Ireland. So to me it is the ultimate celeb baby name and as they are the only ones who chose it it feels like it belongs to them in a strange way. It's almost like using another well known celeb name such as Blue
Ivy together. It just seems unimaginative.
I also guess that people from
Ireland would find this name rather ridiculous.
If someone wanted to honor
Ireland I feel like the last name they should use is
Ireland.
Erin is already much better. Or any other nice Irish name an anglicization of it.
I don't hate
Ireland, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't recommend it. It comes across as celeb-baby-crazy and a bit silly as it doesn't reflect Irish culture.
