What do you think with the name Ireland. I don't think it's too too popular. I've never met anybody with this name but I love it. Especially with the combos Ireland Anneliese, Ireland Aliana, Ireland Eliska, and Ireland Colette. I really don't care if " Alec Baldwin's daughters name is Ireland. They're trashy. It's a really dumb name in Ireland. Don't ever go to Ireland. Ire= anger Ireland= angry land of leprechauns. Your kids will get picked on." Every kid will get picked on because of there name at one point or another atleast once even if you have the most normal name ever. Thanks in advance.

I don't like it. If a person wants to honour his/her Irish heritage I think it's better to use an Irish name. Except for India and China I can't imagine any other country names used as first names (I don't count Georgia and Chad since they have nothing to do with the countries). There are some city names I like, though.

Not every child gets picked on because of their name. Sometimes you can't avoid it, sometimes you can.
I'm not sure about Ireland. I like the sound, but I don't think it would work in real life. On the other hand, I like names such as Sunday and Autumn. I also don't mind place names being used as first names in general. But I think you should only use it if the place has a special meaning to you and/or the other parent. Also, I think Ireland is a bit problematic because of the -land ending, that makes it less usable than Vienna or Sydney.

I think it's a surname-name as well as a place name, and I think it comes off as shallow because of that. I wouldn't want to be named it ... the pleasurable impression that the sound of a name gives to parents, should maybe not be the major factor in choosing a person's first name.

Yes, I have a niece-in-law sur-named Ireland.

I think Ireland is a boneheaded name personally. I think most place names are pretty goofy, and Ireland is so literal, with the -land right there, that it just seems extra goofy. Those combos just seem goofy to me. IMO, go for Irelynn or something less literal. Ireland is too concrete already, it already refers to, yanno, a whole country, and to me if your feelings about that whole country don't represent something you want to transfer onto a daughter then it's just, as I said a bunch of times already, deeply goofy.

No, not every kid will get picked on because of their name.
Ireland is dumb. That's my opinion. You asked for it.

It's a country, not a name for a human being. Why not name her siblings Afghanistan and Australia while you're on it?

Ireland is 100% dumb. Imagine an adult with that name, not a name to be taken seriously at all! Use it as a middle name all you want, but seriously don't use it as a first name.

Not "every" kid gets picked on "at least once" because of their name. I never was. That disproves the statement.
I think Ireland is dumb name. Celebrities tend to pick dumb names.
