  1. My friends Jack, Jack, Sean and Jack are going to be delighted about this. 

  2. No offence to the Jacks out there but jaysus there are a lot of Jacks. in the past 10 years

    Surely folks would google a name and some stats about it before naming a child.

  3. Pat, Joe, John and James has become Brayden, Jayden, Hayden and Awayden…

  4. Nowadays every baby class I go to has two or three Noahs.

  5. I know someone who recently named their baby Jack John 🤦‍♀️

  6. Axis on charts are supposed to grow, from smaller to larger. Not start at 50.

  7. Half the country will be Mohammed soon enough, we fucked up

  8. Good because I’m sick of people having the same name as me. It’s MY name.

  9. Looks like Irish names are getting more popular, that’s great.

  10. My name is 100% irish but it is also so rare that we were able to set up a group for it on facebook at its height and it had less then 10 members. One of which was a northern irish band. and 2-3 were girls with the name which is confusing as hell as the name is literally “bastard son of Cuchulainn”

    I fairly regularly get emails intended for some of the others. I once got sent the plane tickets for one of them by their company.

    I had a sweet email from a man in belfast who wanted me to play at his brother’s wedding as he was a huge fan of the band.

  11. As someone who doesn’t live in Ireland, I’d love to not hear ‘like the ‘Insert the worst person ever mma fighter here’ when I say my name these days.

  12. There were these three Paddies, I mean Jakes, I mean Luke’s. This will proper mess up English people’s jokes.

  13. At my local polling station (primary school) there was a coat hanger labelled with each kid’s name. There was three usual Jack and Dara, but also a Kidden. You gotta be kidden me. He’s gonna hear that joke his whole life.

  14. I used to judge people for giving their kids really common, top 10 names, but if you’ve ever worked with kids or personal data some of the names you encounter are truly horrific. So live long the Jacks and Avas of the world
