go to full release

Jack and Emily remain the most popular babies’ names registered in 2014.  Jack retains the top position it has held every year since 2007 and Emily has retained the number one spot that it first claimed in 2011.  See tables 1 and 2.

The top five boys’ names (Jack, James, Daniel, Conor and Sean) have been the top five since 2007 with the order changing slightly from 2012, when Conor finished in 4th place ahead of Sean.  Indeed four of the top five boys’ names (Jack, Sean, Conor and James) have been in the top five since 1998.  This is the fourth consecutive year that Emily has been the most popular name chosen for girls. Sophie, Emma, Grace and Ava were the next most frequently chosen names to make it to the top five most popular names for girls in 2014.  See table 1.

There were four first time entries to the top 100 for boys:  Henry, Hugo, Ollie and Luca.  The highest new entry at number 87 was Ollie, rising from 113th place in 2013.  It was also the name rising most in popularity up 26 places from 2013. See tables 1 and 5.

There were two first time entrants to the top 100 for girls:  Annie and Isla.  The highest new entry at 75th place was Annie rising from 106th place in 2013. The name rising in popularity most was Evie up 43 places from 110th place in 2013.  See tables 1 and 5.

As in previous years, the tables show that girls are given a wider variety of names than boys with 4,586 girls’ names registered compared to 3,486 boys’ names.  Despite the greater number of male births, a smaller range of names were used for boys than for girls. 

In most areas of the country one of the top five boys’ names took the number one spot. 

Only seven areas favoured names outside of the top five for boys;  In Cavan, Adam was the most popular boy's name in 2014.  Michael was the most popular boy’s name registered in 2014 in Longford and the name also shared the top spot with Daniel in Limerick County.  Patrick and Liam along with Daniel and James were the most popular in Galway city.   Oisin along with James was most favoured in Donegal, while Thomas shared the top position with Jack in South Tipperary.  Noah along with Sean and Jack proved to be the most popular for baby boys registered in Carlow in 2014.  See table 8(a).

For girls, there was a wider range of names outside the top five that were county and city favourites.  These included Amelia, Anna, Aoife, Caoimhe, Ella, Katie, Lily, Lucy, Mia and Sophia.  See table 8(b).

Some of the less common girls' names registered in 2014 and not included in the top 100 names were Skylar, Angel, Meadow, Miley, Destiny, Raven and Halle.   Some of the less popular boys' names registered  in 2014 were Troy, Avery, Deacon, Braxton, Dexter, Cooper and Ariel.

Where both parents were stated as being Irish nationals, Jack was the top ranked name for boys.  Charlie, Daniel, Finn, Jack, Leo, Noah and Thomas were the most popular choice with parents of UK nationality while Liam was the most popular boy’s name chosen by parents from the EU15 (excl. Irl & UK).  David and Jakub were the boy’s names chosen most often by parents from the EU28 excl. EU15.  Parents from nations outside the EU made Muhammed the highest ranked name of baby boys registered in Ireland in 2014.  See table 9.

For girls where both parents were Irish nationals, Emily was the most popular name.  Emily was also the name most often chosen by parents of UK nationality.  Emma ranked first with parents of the EU15 (excl. Irl & UK) and Julia took the top spot with parents of the EU 28 excl. EU15 countries.  Parents from outside the EU28, made Sarah the name that ranked highest of baby girls registered in Ireland.  See table 9.

Surname

An analysis of the top ten most popular surnames of babies' registered in 2014 is included in this publication for the first time.  There were 67,462 live births registered in 2014.  Of these, there were 22,090 unique surnames.  These unique surnames include some double barrelled surnames e.g. O’Brien-Murphy.  The top 10 most popular surnames account for over 7.4% (or 5,000) of the 67,462 births registered in 2014.  The surname ‘Murphy’ accounted for over 1.1% while ‘Kelly’ accounts for just over 0.9% or 633 births. See table 10.

John and Mary the most popular names in 1964

 

An analysis was done of the baby names registered fifty years earlier in 1964. There were 3,696 boys whose registered name was John in 1964 which made it the most popular name for boys.   The name John was ranked number 25 in popularity in 2014 when 293 baby boys were so named.  See tables 11 and 12.

The top five boys’ names in 1964 were, in order, John, Patrick, Michael, Paul and James.  Of these five names only James was in the top five names registered for boys fifty years later in 2014.   See table 11.

While 1,554 baby boys were named James in 1964 there was less than half of that number (695) named James in 2014.  The names  Adam, Jack, Luke, Noah, Harry or Charlie did not appear anywhere on the top 100 list of male baby names in 1964.  However, Daniel, Sean and Conor were in the top 100 most popular names in 1964.   

For girls, Mary was the name of choice for 3,471 parents for their newborn daughters in 1964 making it the most popular name for girls born that year.  It was also still among the top 100 names (ranked 77) for baby girls born in Ireland in 2014 when 88 newborn girls were named Mary.  See tables 11 and 12.

The top five girls’ names in 1964 were Mary, Catherine, Margaret, Ann and Anne.  None of these names featured in the top five names registered for baby girls in 2014.  Apart from Mary, none of the other four names (i.e. Margaret, Catherine, Ann and Anne) featured in the top 100 names for girls in 2014.  See table 11.

None of the top 10 most popular names for girls' in 2014 appeared anywhere in the top 100 girls' names in 1964.

As in 2014, the data for 1964 shows that girls were given a wider variety of names than boys.  However, the range of names for both boys and girls were not as varied 50 years earlier in 1964.  There were 1,103 girls’ names registered in 1964 (versus 4,586 in 2014) and 614 boys’ names (as against 3,486 in 2014).

These results are based on an analysis of the first names recorded on birth returns for registration and vital statistics, begun by the CSO in 1998. All birth notifications in 2014 included the baby’s first name when the statistical return was sent to the CSO.   1963 and 1964 are  the first years prior to 1998 for which an analysis of names are available.  It is hoped to have the intervening years  (1965 to 1997 inclusive) available on our statbank in the near future.

Information recorded

Only the first name was used for this analysis. Babies’ surnames and additional forenames were not extracted by the CSO. 

Spellings and variants

Different spellings of a name have been treated as separate names. For example, while there were 350 boys named Cillian, another 99 had the alternate spelling Killian. Similarly, if you combine the number of girls named Hannah (337) and Hanna (75) then it becomes the 4th most popular name for girls in 2014. Variants of names and abbreviations have also been treated as separate names. For example, Jack, Sean and John account between them for 1,605 boys. These were counted as separate names and rank first, fifth and twenty-fifth respectively. If treated as variants of John, it would rank as the most popular boys’ name. Names containing accents have been recorded without those accents e.g. Seán was recorded as Sean.

Ranking

Names of equal rank have been placed in alphabetical order in Table 1.
