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!

I am having the hardest time picking out a name for our little boy due in Nov. my husband wants a traditional Irish name since he is irish. This is our 4th child.. we already have a daughter, Grace Ann, a son William Jack (named after my grandfather) and another son Quinnlan Jameson.. I am completely stumped with this baby... I sort of like the names Liam and Samuel but we just cant decide! :(

I named my oldest Teagan Janell since my maiden and married last names are Irish, I figured it fit nicely. I liked the name Keegan for a boy and honestly had never heard Teagan until I named her and of course there are a ton of boys with the name and few girls.

Love your middle name "Loughlin", Emma! I probably would have pronounced it wrong, and it sounds so pretty with your pronunciation. :)

I'm going to name my baby boy Keiran. Supposedly it's Irish, but I don't know what the correct pronounciation is. I'm wanting to believe it's pronounced KY-ran but I'm not sure...
