Came across this while doing a bit of research. God help me but I find this type of thing interesting! Also see if you can spot the poet

Well, we've got you beat! We have 1000 top names.

Then again, we are larger.

How do you pronounce these two?:

Aoife

Caoimhe

As for Lamby's link...

I was named after my grandmother, in 1961. I knew one other Emily growing up. Now it's #1.

My name is far more popular in the States than it is at home, even my surname gets a look in.

I was named after my grandmother, in 1961. I knew one other Emily growing up. Now it's #1.

I know several Emilys', one being my cousin.
When I was in primary school, I was in the same class as three other guys with my name & the last company I worked for had myself and two others out of 12 staff - bloody confusing

(A popular TV show around the time of my birth is responsible for that)
