without saying your first name , is your first name common or uncommon?
 

i would say mine is fairly common.

Mine is very common.

unique

It's fairly common in Ireland

not too common any more

Retro

Been pretty common since the Victorian times, apparently :D

I'm pretty sure my name does come front that book/musical, as my dad would sometimes give me not quite enough food, so when I asked for more he would sing that song at me...

Neither. My name is Marc.

quite common, for both men and women :laugh:

Not sure of the exact present.
A couple of years ago my name Joseph was 23rd on the list of 100 boys names.

So I guess fairly common on that listing.

Slight tangent but I believe that Michael has the most number of extremely successful people / world champions / best in field of ANY christian name .

Michael21 is our Tibb world champion,lol :wavey:

Love the name Joseph and Joey so win win for you :wavey:

And MIA Moderator Marc

“Shaun is the least popular spelling of the once-wildly popular name, more usually spelled Sean or Shawn.”

Wtf!! That’s the only way the name should be spelt :fist: although... that does mean it is less common and therefore unique :hee:

Seán is an Irish name, so that is the correct and original spelling, Shaun and Shawn are anglicized versions of it

Joseph, son of Jacob/Israel!!! The dude with the sexy coat.

So it was improved :smug:

Well there was about 7 or 8 of us in my year at school so

No it wasn't improved, it was bastardized. It's an Irish language name. Words starting with S in Irish make the sound SH makes in English. People seem to think that Irish is just Irish people speaking English badly......it's whole different language :nono:

I was only joking I’m aware it’s an Irish name :shrug:

Sorry, it's just really annoying when people go on about Irish names and how we can't spell etc. It's never said about Russian names or French names etc because people don't seem to have any trouble understanding that they are different languages to English

Don’t get so outraged by it, it’s just a discussion

:smug:

Well I’m sure they can spell I didn’t say they couldn’t :laugh: I was just having a little laugh because a lot of the time my name gets misspelt for Sean instead of Shaun so I was just joking that ‘Shaun’ should be the only way it should be spelt. Thanks for calling my name bastardized btw :laugh:

My name is Niamh I'm allowed get outraged by this subject :nono:

Sorry anglicized then

:joker:
Thank you Kazanne.

I've had Joey since I was at school.
Even my Parents came over to calling me it.

My Grandmother I was really close to however, oh no it was always Joseph from her.

It eventually got to where I thought I'd done something wrong if I heard Joseph called out to me.:joker:

yes and it should be neem

thus saving letters and ink and people typing

I worked out that 6 and half years of typing have been lost in the last 10 years by people on tibb having to type that extra H in your name


:oh:

Ok "LeatherTrumpet"

Manchester area ?

It seems to be very difficult to find the most popular names in total - or over the last 100 years - in the UK.

Names get changed all the time by countries. The Gaelic version of James is Seamus, which then got turn back into Hamish.

I just found out that Thiago and Diego are versions of James also, which came from Jacob.

Interesting
