This old-fashioned name used to be hugely popular in Ireland

It may have been one of the most popular names for girls back in the 80s and 90s but it's now falling in popularity.

According to BabyCenter, the name Catherine has fallen dramatically in popularity.

The name is of Greek origin and means 'pure innocence'.
