Alan. 4 of them in my year in school. Haven’t seen a child Alan in thirty years
Finbarr, couldn’t move for them in school but I’ve never met another fella called Finbarr since.
Shane
Paul is one that comes to mind. Had 3 of them in my class.
Ryan.
[removed]
John Paul
All are jack and michael and james
For me it was Emma and Jennifer. Half the class had one of these names.
Pat or paddy.
I don’t know when I last met a Gary under the age of 35.
Jason. Of the 3 in my year, they all had nicknames so maybe that’s why I haven’t met an adult Jason
I was one of three Brians in my primary school class and then the same again in college. Don’t think I know another Brian now though, “there can be only one”
What happened to all the Mary’s.
Bridget
Going by the cso baby names list there are legions of Sean’s, Jacks and Connors, for boys the choice always defaults to a handful of names.
Emily
There was only one Kevin in my school, but now every other kid outside of Ireland in the English speaking world seems to be called Kevin.
Dara or Fiachra
There were six Jack’s in my year group of around 120 people.
Jason…(or Jasin in Cork😁)
In my college class in the mid 2000’s, 40% of the girls were called Aoife
Ian. Knew one in school, which is obviously not a lot, but never met another one.
We talking first names or Surnames?
Leon
Darragh
Katie.
All those Codys were not built to last. They were designed for short entertaining lives.
Just think back to context in which you always heard his name being shouted by teachers and parents.
“Cody! Get off that Roof!”
“Cody! Stop playing on the road!”
“Cody! Don’t drink the blue drink under the sink!”
Codys we headstrong and inquisitive. They were always the first to get into a strangers van, seeking the candy within.
They all took the hit, so you could have the chance to experience your adult life.
