[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.cso.ie/en/interactivezone/visualisationtools/babynamesofireland/ Eh, the top names in Ireland only have a smattering of traditional names. Most have been named here. [/quote] How can the “traditional” names (lots of consonants together) be traditional if they’ve only really been used for last twenty years and even then not so much. [/quote] Not actually true. My wife was born in Ireland in the 1960s, has a traditional Irish name, and so do many of her family members. Families that were involved with the Irish Republican movement are more likely to have given their children traditional Irish names. Also, many people who live in Ireland are not ethnically Irish, so baby name lists probably reflect that. The Anglo Irish are not ethnically Irish at all, and would likely not choose ethnically Irish names. It’s a significant fraction. [/quote]
