Go raibh maith agait.


Tá failte romhat.


:c)

Why Emma do you think? It's been top name for a while now...some B list
celeb I don't know about? Emma Bunting?


Probably because of Friends - Rachel's baby was called Emma. Chloe first
became popular a few years ago because of a character in an Aussie soap.


Neighbours? Home & Away? Not another one surely - what is it with the
Aussie soaps? Theyve started showing Neighbours here in teh US now, I
watched it the other day and didn't know anyone

Jack originally hit the top because of Jack Charlton managing the football
team


Oh thats cute.

but I have no idea where Sean came from. It's been close to the top
for a couple of years now though.


I don't mind that so much, I took a good look at the list last night,
there are some odd ones in there, Jamie, Abby, Sophie, good to have to
avoid the top names - thanks!
