The Irish language name that's going extinct

Irish digital creator Vivienne Sayers O'Callaghan shared on social media that one Irish name is “about to go extinct and nobody’s talking about it." Sayers O'Callaghan says that some of the more popular boys' names are Rían, Oisín, and Séan. For Girls, Éabha, Fiadh, and Sadhbh are popular. CSO data shows other popular Irish boys' names in 2024 were Cillian, Tadhg, and Fionn. However, there's one Irish name proving quite unpopular with new parents. Translated into English, 'Daimhín' means ‘little deer’ or ‘little ox’, according to the social media star. “As an Irish woman who’s lived in Ireland for 20 years, I’ve never met anyone with this name.”Sayers O'Callaghan says that only “five parents in the world” named their child ‘Daimhín’ in 2024.
