Last week we reported that Michael and Liam were among the most popular Irish baby names in the United States, according to the latest state-by-state breakdown of top baby names.
This prompted us to hit the streets of New York to find out, “What is the strangest baby name you have ever come across?”
If you think us Irish have weird names you definitely need to hear some of the baby names the people of New York chewed up and spit out at our camera.
Here's some of the top Irish baby names in the US for comparison:
Boys:
Tristan
Caden
Oscar
Declan
Logan
Girls:
Kayla
Reagan
Shannon
Aileen
Brianna

The strangest baby name I ever heard was L-A, pronounced Eldashah. Honestly.

I don't think the Irish have strange first names, at all. I love the lyrical, musical sound of Irish names.

As an American, I find that celebrities have strange names for their kids: Apple, Zuma, Sparrow.
