The fastest-rising names in the girls’ top 100 were Pippa, Nevaeh, Lucia, Croia, and Maeve.
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).
Some simplified definitions for a few of the above…
Döggvi, “dew”
Dreki, “dragon”
Dýrleif, “deer” + “heir”
Fanndis, “snowdrift” + “woman”
Feykir, “fire”
Gigja, “fiddle”
Himri, short for himbrimi, “common loon” in Icelandic
Jökla, feminine version of Jökull, the #2 boy name
Myrkvi, “darkness (caused by fog or a storm)” or “eclipse“
Sumarliði, “summer-farer”
Svanhvit, “swan” + “white”
There was also a single non-binary name, Blær (“light breeze”), registered in Iceland last year.
Interestingly, about a decade ago, a teenager named Blær forced Iceland to legally recognize her name — which, at that time, was considered solely masculine — by taking the government to court. Perhaps that court battle paved the way for Blær to become a dual-gender name in Iceland? Hm…
The last time I posted rankings for Iceland, in 2018, the top two names (Embla and Aron) were the same.
