Erin?

[nextbaby666]

Do you think it is silly to use the name Erin if you have no Irish roots? We just really like the name. Also it is for number 3, does it go with Lucy and Georgia?

Not silly at all! Yes Erin sits well with your other DD's names

I didn't even know it was Irish

I know two little Erins & neither set of parents are Irish

Popular in Scotland too. It's a lovely name, why not!

It's a lovely name. I didn't know it was Irish, and most of my family are Irish.

It's not an Irish name -- it's a poetic name for Ireland that became popular among Irish Americans and then spread.

It's a really common name in wales (it's like 22 or something).
It does go with your other names

Just makes me think of 'The Waltons'! I know loads of Erins and none have Irish connections that I know of

I think of Lucy and Georgia as being more "English classic", and personally am not keen on Erin. However if you like it, use it :)

lovely name. go for it

It's a beautiful name. I would definitely use it.

We have an Erin which is more popular here than the name of her twin brother Jack

Really nice. Goes with others (more with Lucy than Georgia)

Erin is lovely, and so is the similar Elin. But then I am biased as my DN is Elin and a friend has an Erin.

Apropos of nothing, in the very early days of mobiles when I was toying with the idea of txtspk (don't use it at all any more I might add!), my friend was texting me about her new baby. I said 'wht hv u clld hr?'

She came back with 'rn'

Could I figure out what the baby was called? could I buggary.

It's DD1's name, so of course I love it! Not common, but not weird and obscure either, easy to spell and doesn't get shortened/nicknamed.

DH is Irish as it happens, but I'm not; the name means "Ireland" but isn't really known in Ireland as such. It's more common in the US.

Our other two have more traditional Irish names.

I'm Irish and have never met an Irish 'Erin'. Its very much an Irish-American thing. I don't think there's anything wrong with non-Irish people using Irish names. A lot of supposedly 'English' names were lifted from Greek, Lati or Hebrew yonks back.

Or 'Latin' even :-P
