The fastest-rising names in the boy’s top 100 were Hugo, Luca, Hudson, Rian, and Nathan.
And here’s a selection of names from the other end of the spectrum — names that were given to just 3 babies each in Northern Ireland last year:
Some explanations/associations for a few of the above…
Banba – a goddess in Irish mythology.
Banbha – the modern spelling of Banba.
Faoiltiarna – an Irish name made up of the elements faol, “wolf,” and tighearna, “lord.”
Olcan – a 5th-century Irish saint associated with the village of Armoy in County Antrim.
Rhaenyra – a character from the TV series House of the Dragon (a prequel to Game of Thrones).
Selkie – a seal/human shapeshifter in Celtic (as well as Norse) mythology.
Finally, let’s take a look at middle names. About 86% of the girls and 89% of the boys born in Northern Ireland last year were given at least one middle name. The middles chosen most often were…
Rose, Grace, Elizabeth, Mary, and Marie (for girls), and
James, John, Patrick, Michael, and Thomas (for boys).

Why?
Because of French soccer player Kylian Mbappé (pronounced kee-lee-ahn em-bah-pay).
He began his professional career in 2015, when he was just 16. He has been the French Ligue 1 top scorer for the last three seasons straight, and has twice been named both the French Player of the Year and the Ligue 1 Player of the Year.
But his international play is what caught the attention of expectant parents in the U.S.
At the international level, Mbappé was part of the French squad during the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which France ultimately won (defeating Croatia in the final game). Mbappé scored an impressive four goals during the tournament, receiving the FIFA World Cup Best Young Player Award for his performance.
