Made in Ireland: 10 stunning Irish names that are making a splash abroad

Irish baby names

So good they all want them.

Our uniquely Irish baby names are beautiful, we can all agree on that.

So beautiful, in fact, that parents who live nowhere near Ireland themselves are also opting to use monikers hailing from our shores when the time comes to naming their little ones.

And honestly – who can blame them. Irish baby names are full of history, poetry, and folklore. Inspired by beautiful green hills and gushing rivers, of ancient high kings and warrior queens, and of poets and dreamers who changed the world.

Even the UK based Stylist Magazine recently ran a list of the most beautiful Irish baby names to pick from – and who’s willing to bet there is about to be lots of little British babies running around with names fresh from the Emerald Isle…?

Just take a look at some of the gorgeous monikers they went wild for:

1. Caoimhe

2. Darragh

3. Éabha

4. Eoin

5. Fiadh

6. Odhran

7. Saoirse

8. Conor

9. Maeve

10. Donnacha
