Is your name on the list?

Apparently, Irish baby names are only growing in popularity stateside 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 published by the Irish Post, 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 Surprisingly names such as Sean and Niamh, which often top baby name polls here in Ireland didn't make the cut this time around.
