You won’t make it through this list without recognising a friend’s name

Ciara Knight

Magic is real.

Ireland is really small as we all know, there’s roughly two degrees of separation between all of us. There’s also about seven names going around in rotation between us, with a few flamboyant and exotic ones thrown in for good measure.

I’ve put together the most common first names for females in Ireland and combined them with the most common surnames in Ireland. This is not trickery or some David Blaine bullshit, this is magic and it is real.

Try make it through the list without recognising either your name or the name of someone you know.
