How this list was compiled: Two kinds of real first name, built on 2 October 2026. Irish-language names: every name in the four tables of English Wikipedia's 'List of Irish-language given names' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irish-language_given_names, read 2 October 2026): native feminine and masculine names and feminine and masculine names of foreign origin, 380 names. Each name the list writes on a line of its own has a card of its own. Where one row of the list holds several names (Fionn and Fiontán, Diarmaid and Diarmuid), each card names the others as 'Listed with', and the row's English forms are printed as given for them together, because the list does not say which belongs to which; 110 cards are of this kind. Two names the list marks as diminutives say so. A card gives what the list gives and nothing more: other spellings, the anglicization or English equivalent in the list's own words, and its note on meaning or origin where the note is short. By the list's own labels an anglicization is an anglicized form of the Irish name and an English equivalent is a different name paired with it; neither is a pronunciation, no pronunciation is written by us, and 45 Irish-language cards carry no English form because the list gives none. Where the list writes optional letters in brackets, such as Sadhbh(a) or Fia(dh), the card takes the spelling placed highest on the 2025 register if one is there, else the full spelling, and names the other as 'Also written'; a bracketed ending -án (Niall, Niallán) is two names with a card each. Left out: four pet forms the list gives beside Mícheál and two of that row's English short forms, because those English forms are also an unkind word. The list's British spelling of anglicization, and of valor in one note, is printed the American way. Register names: the names ranked 1 to 100 for girls and for boys in the Central Statistics Office's Irish Babies' Names for 2025 (https://www.cso.ie/en/statistics/birthsdeathsandmarriages/irishbabiesnames/, tables VSA50 and VSA60 of the Office's open data portal, updated 27 February 2026, read 2 October 2026), 202 names with ties at the cut. A card gives a band (top 10, top 50, top 100) and no place or count. 28 names are on both lists and have one card. A spelling given to girls and boys has one card found under both. The register counts each spelling apart, so Sean and Seán are two names. Starts with files a name under its first letter without the accent. Single first names only; no family names. No speaker of Irish has read the list. Licence: Irish-language names, English forms and notes: English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/).
