Really silly.

amber763 · 22/04/2020 19:39

Agree that it's a surname

MoonlightMistletoe · 22/04/2020 19:38

No it's silly

Eireann would be a lovely name. I am Irish and think that Ireland sounds a bit silly, I am sorry.

A lady I know has called her daughter that and if she has another she will go for Scotlyn. She’s in the us, and it’s quite a popular name.

Not a name, sorry. Just because some celeb used it once doesn't make it OK.

Why do you choose this name for your baby? (Genuine question)
It will always be the name of the country so your child’s name won’t have personal feel, more like a nickname.

Personally, I think you should go for something a little more exotic, like Hawaii or Timbuktu

Are you American OP?

SpeedofaSloth · 22/04/2020 19:24

It's a surname.

DramaAlpaca · 22/04/2020 19:23

I think it's a country not a name Confused

legalseagull · 22/04/2020 19:23

For a person? Weird

Anoisagusaris · 22/04/2020 19:23
