What do you think of this name? it doesnt seem to be popular these days? also, my dp is Irish so there would be that connection. I love it.

Not massively keen.

It's not a genuine Irish name, either. It's one of those Americanised Oirish names, like Erin or Caitlin pronounced 'Kate-lynn'.

Sorry, totally reminds me of the child abduction case too.

There are loads of lovely irish girls names to choose from.

nope, it makes me think of Shannon Matthews too

Unfortunately it reminds me of that false child abduction case a year or so ago

There are so many nicer beautiful irish names

I'm sorry, I think it's really chavtastic

The Sharon of 15 years ago, sorry but really don't like it

It is less common now but I dont think it is dated. I think it would fit well in with other names ending with 'n'.
