Help[Opinions] Re: Observations
in reply to a message by Perrine
I work in childcare in N. Ireland and all quite typical of the names that you would see. Although strangely I’ve never met any Emily’s, for it coming up as so consecutively popular. The names I’ve came across in which there have been 2 or 3 in a class are, Aoife, Meabh, Katie, Cara and Niamh for girls and for boys Jack, Theo, Cillian, Finn/Fionn, Conor/ Connor, Aodhan/Aidan and Henry. I used to always love Noah but far too popular now.

I think there might be large regional and socio-economic differences (at least when I look at the report it is the feeling I get: region, age etc.).
Could you tell me how many girls named Fiadh you have met?
So nice that you are from Northern Ireland, I love Irish names :)
Have you ever met a younger Fiona?
And what do you think about Fianna? I read in a forum that it is political and that people would give a mom who named her kid Fianna the side eye but not sure if many people would actually do that given that it is a top 100 name?

Hi, yes your right, the names do vary from backgrounds, obviously the Irish names will mostly come from Catholic families and Protestants tend to go for typically English/Scottish/Biblical, although this can vary on both sides, the trendy names are certainly amongst both.
I’ve only actually met a couple of Fiadh’s, it seems to have trended very rapidly. Don’t think I’ve met any young Fiona’s and Fianna’s not a name that I’m familiar with but from Googling the meaning I would say it would be popular only in certain areas.
Still a bit sad that names are still very politically based here but we’ve definitely moved on a lot :)
