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.
