HelpRe: Irish Names
in reply to a message by Greenleaf
1.) Do you like Irish names? Or do you think they are a bit of a fad? And is it different if it actually comes from your heritage?
I do like some of them, just as I like some English names.
They do seem to be a bit of a fad in America, yes, and it depends what you mean by "heritage". If you mean your great great grandfather then it seems a bit of a stretch, but a parent is fine.
I don't mean you can't use them, because I think you can use any name you like regardless of origin, just say you like them rather than say you're Irish.
2.) If you do like Irish names... What are some of your favorites? If not... Why not?
