The top baby names in Ireland have been announced

Rían and Sophie were announced as the top baby names in Ireland last year. The monikers knocked Jack and Sophie off the top spot, but Jack remained in the top five baby boy names for 2025.

This is the first time Rían reached the number one spot since the CSO launched the baby name series in 1964.

This was the first time Jack was not the most popular choice since 2016.

The top baby girl names for 2025 were Lily, Éabha, Fiadh, Grace, and Sadie.

The top baby boy names for 2025 were Rían, Jack, Noah, James, and Oisín.

Irish names are proving to be as popular as ever, with new entrants including Dáire, Naoise, and Teidí.

Raya is swiftly becoming a popular baby name in Ireland, with the moniker being revealed as the fastest-rising name of 2025. It jumped from 213^th place in 2024 to 99^th in 2025.

"Looking at girls’ names, Lily claimed the number one position as the most popular girls’ name in Ireland for the first time since our series began in 1964. Lily first started to gain popularity in 1997 when 15 girls were given the name, and it has been steadily climbing up the ranks since then."
