Yes one thousand times over. Maeve, Declan, Mairead, Declan, Aidan, Eamon. Cut it out wanna be Irish Americans!

I find this very weird too. As an Irish-American from both sides, our family is literally riddled (cousins on both sides) with all sorts of Irish names. So I am used to this in my own family, but then if I meet someone who has like 1% drop of Irish blood and they have names such as the above, I am kind of like, "Huh?" I mean, of course it's their choice, but I admit to finding it just a little weird. I guess I feel it would be equally weird if I named my kids names such as "Carlos," "Jose," and "Juanita." A totally different ethnicity than my own!

PS I guess people just love us Irish so much they want to imitate us! "Imitation is the best form of flattery."

true.

FWIW, My parents gave me an irish name to honor that part of my heritage - even though it was only 25% of my heritage or something? I'm a European mutt. I could also easily have been named Danica to honor the Slavic side of my heritage.

My poor kid is even more muddled - we added German and Czech to the already mixed together heritage. I just say she's all american

For some reason my mother is really big on all things celtic, so I I've grown up with an Irish name that I never liked. I'm adopted and recently found my firstmom and ironically I'm 100% French. Oh well, too late to change it now...

Culturally, you are not French, so no big deal not having a French name.

Whatev. PP, feel whatever you want about your own name and don't let random internet know-nothings tell you how you should or shouldn't fee.

I met a Hollin while I was interning in the Clinton White House. She was one of the older volunteers (not an intern)

Mine are:
Brittany, Jaden (boy or girl)

Let's not do this. OK?

+1000. Because if there is anything I HATE more, it's thinking about some adult cringing at the mere mention of a child's name. Grow up.

I totally agree. Do not know why some people like to stir the pot around here. Ridiculous. Grow up!

My daughter's name is on here! LOL.

Strange, someone finally got around to trashing my son's name (too boring and traditional) but no one has trashed my daughter's name yet. DCUM will get to it.

To the person we know IRL who hates my child's name but "only in fairness" because of their hatred of us as insufferable, hypocritical Christians:

I wanted you to know: message received -- yet again -- on a public anonymous board. Your now deleted comments defamed our religion and our character but, not before I read them to my family. FYI.

Yes, I may actually choose one of the names from these various lists for my next kid because I figure, if the DCUM world hates it, I must be doing something right.
