Search and find popular baby names in Ireland
Every year, the Irish Central Statistics Office compiles data on the recorded forenames of births registered within the Republic of Ireland; including their gender nominative, their rank within that nominative, and the total registered with that forename.
The datasets used for this service are publicly available from the CSO. The births registered data is based on a name occurrence dataset which records forename data from 1964. Data on names that are included are where the observation of record is not missing and doesn't fall under a limit of discretion or uncertainty
