[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not this again. The answer is no, don’t give your child an Irish name. Since you don’t live in Ireland and you are just an American who has some Irish ancestry, it makes absolutely no sense.

As someone who actually grew up in Ireland, it truly baffles me why Americans do this![/quote]

What an ignorant comment. There are more Irish in America than in Ireland, and they have every right to name their children with Celtic names.

Yes, I know there are many Irish people living in America. I happen to be one of them. However, OP is American with Irish ancestry. Not the same. [/quote]

Again, IGNORANT.

ALL American given names - and surnames - are derived from other nationalities and languages. ALL OF THEM. Unless you want to name your child Stands With a Fist, et al. We are a nation of immigrants, period. Mary is not an American name, nor is James.

Please, stop with the ridiculous shaming of people whose chosen given names are derived from their family's ethnic origin.[/quote]

are you always this rigid and insistent?

nobody cares if she names the child Kathleen or Maeve. It’s choosing an unpronounceable name with a specific political meaning from another nation that’s the problem. It would be like an Irish mom naming her child Baraka 😂 [/quote]
