What do you think about the first name Seamus ?
In many jokes and novels, Irish guys are often called Seamus. Yet, when I went to Ireland, people told me that it is not such a popular first name in Ireland. Why? I find it cute
Answers:
I think its a good name too, I was going to call my son Seamus but I got out-voted.. I do still call my son seamus as his nickname though. It seems the young Irish are not following tradition.. times have now changed and they like to use the more modern type of names from all around the world or copying from the rich and famous ! don't you think
penguin is better
Umm. I'm not really feeling it. Sorry ; (
i think it's a nice name - unless it belonged to me. i don't think i would like to be called that - even if i was a boy.
I dont know why but i like it also..i like unusual names.after all i have a son named Jaxen!
it reminds me of a dwarf in Charmed. and yeah, they're from Ireland. but if you liked it, fine. it's unique. everybody is different in many ways.
i think its horrid, sorry. xx
It's a good Irish name, but it's also a stereotype like all Irishman drink a lot
leprechauns in pantomines etc are often given this name in Ireland. True, it is not a very popular first name. it is the irish for James. it is also considered quite an old name.
i think its a bit old fashioned ,and puts you in mind of irish jokes..i know quite a few irish people and none of them are called seamus.
I think it is a bit naff - it's like the preconception all Scottish men are called Hamish.
i knew a Seamus.. but the name reminds me of a leprechaun
IT IS AN OLDER NAME ,A MORE MODERN VERSION I.E. SEAN, OR SHAUN. SOUNDS OK THOUGH.
Its a name used in Newfoundland Canada as well. First off, I'd feel sorry for a kid with the name because people always pronounce it wrong when they read it (Its supposed to be pronounced shame-us, but they pronounce it seem-us). Secondly, its just dorky and the poor kid would be teased and beat up. There is an AM TV host in Toronto with the name , and he's just plain dorky himself. Check it out: http://www.ctv.ca/canadaam
they r mostly called murphy or paddy lol ,im irish and in my part seamus is quite popular
