HelpRe: Irish baby names 2009
in reply to a message by Speranza
Thanks for sharing! That was interesting, and I was especially surprised by Jakub, Filip, Kacper, Patryk, and Szymon, and Tara, Zuzanna, and Oliwia... so many Polish names! I didn't know there were so many Polish people in Ireland. And Tara just surprised me because in the US it's quite dated.

I think Tara must be making a come-back - it's quite dated here as well.
It was popular in the 70s. There are a lot of Poles in Ireland(not as many as during the boom years but still a lot - I think they are the biggest group of non-nationals). A fair amount of Russians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians as well but a lot of Poles. It's common to see Polish goods in supermarkets in even small towns and also Polish shops are all over the place. I think it's only in the last year or two that Polish names started showing up in the top 100 baby names.
