Namewise

Most popular baby names in Republic of Ireland in the 1980s

CSO Irelandpublishes a ranking each year, not one for the decade. This list is Namewise's own calculation: each name's average published position across the years of the 1980s it was ranked in, counting only names ranked in at least 5 of those years.

The years-ranked figure beside each name is part of the result, not decoration — a name averaging a strong position across four years is a different claim from one averaging it across ten. The published year-by-year rankings · Data sources
