What's the most popular name in your county

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has today (Friday February 25) revealed Ireland's most popular baby names of 2021. 

The overall most popular names in the country were revealed to be Fiadh for girls and Jack for boys. 

Jack has reportedly held the top spot since 2007, with the exception of 2016 when James was the most popular boys name. 

It's the first time Fiadh has taken the overall number one spot for girls. 

There were several new entries to the Top 100 list, including Hunter, Páidí, Brody, Arlo and Tiernan for boys, and Lottie, Ayla and Indie for girls. 

Where both parents were from the EU14 (excluding Ireland), Liam was the most favoured boys' name, while Leon was the name chosen most often by parents from the EU15 to EU27.
