Before you get all worried that I shouldn't be allowed to poke fun at north side baby names, let me say this:

1. I have already begun the process with the A-Z of North Side Dublin Baby Boy Names without any major repercussion thus far (phew!)
2. My dad is a north sider and my mam tells me that my granny was a child of the inner city - the north inner city.
3. I once went for an audition for Red Rock and the casting director said 'Use your normal voice' before I started. Then she stopped me halfway through and said, 'Sorry, are you not from Finglas?' I'm not, but I somehow SEEM like I am and that's cool with me.
