I hate them for the following reasons:
They are really trendy
They are really pretentious
They DON'T MAKE ANY PHONETIC SENSE
eta: to me. I thought I said that, sorry.There's nothing particularly special about them and I don't see why people love them so much.
For alternatives for the ones with cool meanings, try anything from any of these:

Conan, for cryin out loud
Lorccan's neat but it still pisses me off because of two C's that don't make sense to me
Orla sounds really silly and too close to
Oral and Orca
I have a really hard time believing there aren't any other conventional names that mean freedom

Tadhg because of
Teagan, which is SUCH a stupid name, and because it is spelled counter-intuitively.
Bleah. Anyway. Sorry to be harsh but I really dislike them.
