Is your child’s name popular in the USA?

Apparently, Irish baby names are only growing in popularity States side which is no surprise seeing as many Americans have some sort of Irish ancestry.

Recently a survey was taken which revealed the top ten Irish baby names reigning supreme in the United States.

According to a report from My Domaine, these are the ten Irish names that American parents just couldn’t get enough of over the last year and a half.

10. Ciarán
9.  Róisín
8.  Reilly (Irish surnames are a popular choice for first names in the States)
7.  Saoirse (no doubt thanks to actress Saoirse Ronan)
6.  Declan

5.  Caoimhe
4.  Fionn
3.  Siobhan
2.  Oisín
1.  Aoife

That’s right, Aoife was the most used Irish name used in the United States over the last year. You just know they’re going to be in for a lot of ‘how do you spell that?’

Surprisingly names such as Sean and Niamh, which often top baby name polls here in Ireland didn’t make the cut this time around.
