Craicriture on 03.03.2026 3:12 p.m. We’re fierce boring and predictable in the top few names – my own parents were equally unimaginative lol
Tomaskerry on 03.03.2026 3:13 p.m. When and why did Rian get so popular? Also Sadie and Lily and Noah and Amelia? I don’t think I knew anyone with those names growing up.
AdjectiveNoun1337 on 03.03.2026 3:20 p.m. To anyone considering calling your child Rian: you don’t need a fada. *ia, ua,* and *eo* just naturally sound that way. Think of how the words *grian, fuar* and *Eoin* are pronounced. No fada needed.
TheHames72 on 03.03.2026 3:21 p.m. Sexy Sadie, Dinner Lady. She used to work in the rest in UCC. First thing I think of every time. Croía is a new one on me, and I’m not sure I like it. Croía Harty. Heh: I’m here all week, try the chicken.
CloseButNoChicory on 03.03.2026 3:22 p.m. When I hear „Noah“, I think of a typical newly-adoped name of female people who have announced they’re nonbinary. Looks like they’ll have to find a different trend.
GodOfPog on 03.03.2026 3:44 p.m. Who on Earth is naming their child “Leo” with the main current association of that name being a hated politician.
UnrealCaramel on 03.03.2026 3:44 p.m. But I was told Mohammad was the most popular name in Galway by the far right media? They wouldn’t lie to me, would they?
cynical_scotsman on 03.03.2026 3:52 p.m. Jack is such an English name to me. Might as well be Oliver or Olivia or Pippy Poppy
FewElk6678 on 03.03.2026 4:16 p.m. Well this clearly isnt ‚by county‘ if Six of them are left off. It should really be ‚Most Popular Names by MOST County 2025‘
AlgaeDonut on 03.03.2026 4:41 p.m. I though they would all be Mohammad by now, according to some dipshits 🤣 but an interesting array of names.
Tight-Principle-743 on 03.03.2026 4:43 p.m. And not a single Seamus in sight, so much for my English co-worker thinking we all have the same names

Why Rían?
Such shit names
So, it’s not all „Conors“
We’re fierce boring and predictable in the top few names – my own parents were equally unimaginative lol

Also Sadie and Lily and Noah and Amelia?
I don’t think I knew anyone with those names growing up.
What happened to good ole Ryan ❓
National Party voters in bits looking for Mohammed….

Sexy Sadie, Dinner Lady.

Lots of Jacks but no Jills.

Jack and Lily seem quite English names to me
Jack Jack Jack Jack Jack
Noah? Are we building a fleet of arks or something?
So did Leo have a huge impact as Taoiseach?
Not surprised Noah is so popular after all that rain
There are 6 counties missing.
Any chance of Gary making a comeback?
I live in Kildare and don’t know anyone called Lily
never met someone called páidí
Who on Earth is naming their child “Leo” with the main current association of that name being a hated politician.

Start naming kids Noah and it will rain for two months.
Jack is such an English name to me. Might as well be Oliver or Olivia or Pippy Poppy
Hoping for Jacinta to make a comeback….
You forgot 6 counties
It’s amazing how everyone just copies the next person.
I love it that my kids names are not anywhere on the list
Well this clearly isnt ‚by county‘ if Six of them are left off. It should really be ‚Most Popular Names by MOST County 2025‘
When’s Barry or Joel making a come back?
I though they would all be Mohammad by now, according to some dipshits 🤣 but an interesting array of names.

Far right found crying
You’re missing six there.

The name Sean is getting forgeted😞
Whatever happened to good ole Mary and Peadar?
