HelpRe: A Typical Irish Family, Moving to America
in reply to a message by Clovetta
Personally, I like all the names you've used!
However, as someone who's been to Ireland and is married to an actual Irish person, you are overwhelmingly likely to have a typical Irish family with the kids named Chloe and Jack!
Here are the first 20 names from one of my cousin's facebook friend list (lives in Dublin, aged 19, all these people appear similar age)
Girls: Catherine, Ella, Lois, Christine, Jess, Vanessa, Fiona, Fiodhna, Cathy, Rachel, Sarah,
Boys: Ivan, Alan, Conor, Nicholas, Jason, David, Daniel, Seb, Mark
So, as you can see, there's a few "traditional" names, but many many more anglo names. The ones who give ALL their kids the full on Irish names tend to be quite patriotic. A few families seem to give one kid an Irish name... The whole Irish name trend is actually more found in the Irish diaspora worldwide (US, Australia, UK)...
Up to you, but IMHO the names sound a wee bit cliched. I would tone it down a bit. :)
