I forgot to add this one to my lists. I think it might be quite fresh on a youngster?

My niece is an Eileen and I admit I didn't like the thought but now she is a beautiful toddler and it really suits her and now I really like it. It does sound softer with an irish accent though (She is Irish).

My mother is an Eileen and she's always hated it.

Makes me think of a middle aged, chain-smoking cleaner with a bubble perm.

Isla's nice if you like the 'I' sound.

Makes me think of a nosey neighbour wearing a mumu

I have an Irish aunt Eileen who is young and funky and it really suits her. I don't think it's much different to Ellen really, wouldn't bat an eyelid if I heard it.

And there are worse songs to have sung at you
