DD was very nearly called it - DH from near Port Erin on Isle of Man. A nasty (now ex)friend told me it was the worst name she had ever heard just before dd was born. Didn't use it but for a long time wished I had. two ds's after that so never got to use the name.

I know 3 Erins - aged 3, 6 and 30ish.

Lovely name

I know two, one Erin (5) & one Aeryn (2). It's fairly popular in Scotland I think, very pretty name.

Lovely name - a friend named her DD Erin (17 months), and it was on the list of possibles if DS 2 had been a girl.

saffy85 · 14/11/2010 15:18

My cousin. She's 20. Lovely name imo.

I know three. One is 14, and is my dd2's friend. One is about 18, and is my cousin's stepdaughter. One is my SIL's partner's daughter, but their Ulster accents mean her name is Urn!

mnistooaddictive · 13/11/2010 21:03

4 of them all aged under 4. A very common name around here!

I also have strong irish roots my grandad was born in Co Cork. I must admit I have never heard of a boy called Erin but to me its in the same vein as Alex.

I know a grown up one, a three year old one and a baby one.

Very pretty name, I like it a lot.

MrsKarpet · 13/11/2010 20:42

My son is called Erin, his dad chose it because his family is from Ireland. It is unisex but has been taken over as a girl's name (prob from the Waltons influence) so he had a bit of ribbing but not too much. Lovely name Grin
