The Irish Central Statistics Office just made their name data a lot easier to wander through so I thought I’d make a CAF to celebrate, the CSO shows all names that have been given to three or more children in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] each year so I thought it would be interesting to make a CAF with names that were given to just three kids in 2018 it’s a nice mix of obscure Irish, modern and vintage.

edit: Just because there’s been some interest a lot of names were only given to three children because the Irish population is so small the top names Jack and Emily were given to 686 and 460 respectively which is about the same amount as baby boys named Sage and girls named Nola in 2018 in the US, which makes the spread of names pretty interesting
