More and more new parents are opting for traditional names for their newborns, and the trend is starting to grow across the globe.

Some of our all-time favourite names are of Irish origin, but there's one baby girl name that is proving most popular with new parents.
The Irish name Fiadh has become one of the most loved Irish names around the world.
The charming name is pronounced Fee-a.
