Cool is Diverse

This is a trickier concept when it comes to names for Irish babies than it is for, say, American or British children, since the coolest names in Ireland are often the least diverse, the most ethnocentrically Irish. Still, Irish names don’t have a monopoly on cool, and some Irish parents may wish to search farther afield for fresh choices. But you don’t have to go too far: names from other Celtic cultures—Scottish and Welsh and Cornish and Breton—might provide the individuality you crave without sacrificing too much tradition. And if your tastes run more towards the pan-cultural Emma and Edward end of the spectrum, we’ve also included here names that are considered cool throughout the rest of an ever-shrinking Europe and across the Atlantic in the USA.
