I was going to be an Erin, it is actually written on one of my baby books, but thank god my dad decided he didn't like it. There was a horrible bully in the year above called Erin and having the same name as her I imagine would have caused problems. Because of this I don't like the name - irrational I know.

One of dd1's best friends is Erin, and funny enough she is a kind of "Pixie Child", very fine featured. We also know an Erin who uses it as a nn for Catherine.

Susie? Well natch I prefer the Susan version but have very rarely heard it used recently. Its pretty, but it makes me think of the 2 Susie's I know, both my age (late 30's).

Erin is my middle name, I wish it was my first which I hate.

I live in Ireland and there are several Erins in our town - all ten and under. As previously noted maybe it's a new thing? Although I'm not anywhere near 10!

I love Erin. It was on my list

LOVE IT! I have an Erin - she is a gorgeous, beautiful, clever girl. Oldest of 4 girls but her name is the best of the 4. Everyone says how pretty her name is.

Susie is gorgeous but Erin is really nmsaa

Wizard, maybe there are Erins in Ireland since the soup has been rebranded??? It's like Shannon. The Americans began using it "because it's Irish" and we have imported it back from them. so, it's like Pizza (from the Italian quarter of ny) if you know what I mean.

Sorry, I do think soup when I see "Erin" written down!
Bit like calling a boy Baxter.
