I was as a child, but now every third little girl has my name (thank heavens for nicknames!) - and I
hate sharing my name with so many other people!! When I was little, I met a Miss America with my name, and she told me that only special people had "our" name, and it made me feel great!!
Of course, as I look at my other family members' names, I have the most common by far. We
once saw my mother's name on stationery, and my dad made her buy it!
As for having "too" Irish of a name, it all depends on what the name is. I see a world of difference between Brenden Adair and Patrick O'Connell, and I'm sure others do as well.
