Re: Irish baby names 2009
in reply to a message by Ninor
Maja being more popular than Maya surprised me too.
Shannon was never popular here in the 70s and 80s - it has only become popular recently along with Erin and Katelyn recently via TV from the US I would guess.
Brian never really went out of fashion here, same with Ross.
Jennifer and Jason puzzle me too - they are such 70s & 80s names here.
Hugh is part of the "old is good again" thing I think.
