Nice name.

Apart from the famous ones (O'Connor, Boag and Brockovitch) the only other one I know of is my niece.

I really like the name Smile

purepurple · 13/11/2010 20:41

No, I lied. It is actually 2, except the other one is an Eryn.

LittleDonkin · 13/11/2010 20:42

Oh yeah I know the famous ones!!! Erin Brocovich (incorrectly spelt I know) is one of my favourite films but thats not why we chose it!!! We chose it as it was the only name me and DH agreed on!!!

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

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

Very pretty name, I like it a lot.

LittleDonkin · 13/11/2010 20:44

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 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!
