Popular Names Irish Baby Names: the Hottest New Trend | Irish Baby Names: the Hottest New Trend |
|
The latest American given names trend is Irish! Irish names are the latest rage, taking the top spots on national popularity charts and rising up out of the sea of given name choices. The trend is most visible among baby boy names, with names such as Ryan, Kevin, Sean, Connor and Brayden taking spots in the top 100’s. The biggest surprise comes from the old Irish name Áedán. Although officially ranking number 43 in the nation, its many spelling variations make it a contender for the number one spot. The number one boy name Jacob was registered by the Social Security Administration as having been given to approximately 24,400 males in 2006. Meanwhile, the many variations of Áedán – Aidan, Aiden, Ayden and Aden total to approximately 26,300 baby boys, making it the unofficial Number 1!

Deirdre
written by ann, August 08, 2008
My name is Deirdre and I like it. People always mispronounce it, but the kind people are always sorry. I don't get mad as long as people are actually thinking and trying. I sometimes get frustrated when people don't try. But Irish names are awesome. I don't like fake Irish names, like pronouncing Deirdre Dee-dra instead of Deer-dra, but pronouncing it Deirdre is AWESOME.

Teagan is derived from Tadhg, Teague all Gaelic forms of Timothy. Surname O'Tadhgain. The misconception about this name is Tegin pronounced Teg-in or Teg-win is the feminine form of Teagan (Tee-gan). Very masculine and handsome for a boy.

irish twin names
written by Shannon Males, November 11, 2008
I am 5 months pregnant with twins and it is a boy and a girl. Me and my husband are very interested in Irish names cuz that is my heritage and he likes them. We already have a son named Brady, and we like Liam Hunter and Aiden Tucker for a boy but we can't think of any girl names that both of us like...and both of us do not like the old irish names...I want to use Faith for a middle name cuz thats mine and it is a tradition name in my family...so can anyone give us some Irish names for girls?

If you have to ask how to say the name...out of respect for us that are actually of gaelic speaking and Irish heritage, please go another direction.
*thinking deeply*
written by Sovay Barrett, February 19, 2010
ummm. I actually always need help with pronouncing names, not just Irish and Gaelic, but other ones too.
Answer for Kayla, about Tristan and Evan written by kreder, March 19, 2010
Those two names are names used in Brittany. I like them too. Evan is starting to be quite popular in France nowadays. Tristan is rarer I think and it looks more noble. Tristana exists also, for a girl (I already wrote a message about that name). For a girl, what sounds more like Evan is Ivanne, that I love, and Erwan for a boy. They all come from the name Yves. Does that help you ?
