I really don't want anything too popular! I am considering Beatrix, Tabitha, Florence and Cordelia........I know some of these are very popular in Britain but are they popular in Ireland? I have never ever met any child in Ireland with those names but if any Irish mums out there can tell me if these are on the rise here I would really appreciate it! Thanks

I'm in the west and don't know any kids with those names. Id be wary of Florence though as I'll bet that will get popular in a few years due to the singer with that name.

In Ireland also, never heard any of them.

The Irish Top 100 should be floating around somewhere online if you google.

I know one Beatrix. I don't know any of the other names (apart from a grown-up Florence). Usually the names that are REALLY popular in the UK/America at any given time tend to become popular in Ireland about five years later.
I think you'll be safe enough! Congratulations on your pregnancy!
