Dublin as a name?

[user1495211362]

Thoughts? Would you think boy or girl?

Skibbereen is quite scenic, I believe... And won't raise many more eyebrows than Dublin.

nice it's a real place! Honest. Very pretty little town in Donegal. Well known for its diving club...

What about Abu Dhabi? A nicer ring to it 😃

Have you considered baile átha Cliath?

I would think city.

Baby Skib.

What about Anna Livia if you wanted a Dublin tribute for a girl?

I really hope you are making that up Caoraich . If I was them I'd have gone for river names Corrib and Dee!

Why not go for something classy like Hull, Leeds, Sheffield? 😂

Please don't embarrass your child.

I do know a little girl called Aberdeen whose brother is Galway.

I don't like the fashion of using place names for children. But those are especially bad (imo!)

There's so many other nice Irish place names like bastardstown or effin?

I have known a child with a famous city name followed by a saints name. Don't want to out myself but trust me it's shocking bad.

Ardara and Lifford, maybe? Idk ;)

Maudlin Vatican Peter?

Lissette I do too!!

Now imagine: "Aberdeen, come in out of the rain!!" yelled across a village green in a strong Brisbane accent. In the West coast of Scotland.

The poor kid had a "nice, unusual" name in Brisbane. I suppose it's like me calling my kid Sydney then emigrating to Oz.

Back on the Dublin topic, I have just informed my OH of this thread and he says it's a fantastic, strong name for a boy.

I suspect he may be biased, being from Chapelizod (which I am reliably informed is The Best Part of Dublin).........

OH is Irish and I lived there for years. Not a chance anyone would name their baby this. I'd go with SpornStar's suggestions.

Worse than that Hastalapasta how is that even possible?

There was a pretty famous (and good) American poet called Galway Kinnell.

You could go for Muff.

Oh dear God Caoraich. They live in Scotland?! I love Aberdeen - I live there and I love my home city Dublin too but I don't think I like them as names!

Your husband clearly hasn't been to Dalkey

Lisdoonvarna. Now there is a mouthful and mildly better than Dublin imho.
You even have a great song to go with it.
