Following closely is Róisín, meaning “little rose,” with 135 newborns receiving the name. This classic Irish name draws its inspiration from one of summer’s most iconic flowers, embodying a timeless floral elegance.

In third place is Caoimhe, pronounced “Kee-va,” which comes from the Irish word caomh, meaning “gentle,” “beautiful,” or “precious.” With 130 babies named Caoimhe, the name reflects the warmth and grace often associated with the summer season.

Aoife, a name linked to beauty and radiance in Irish mythology, ranks fourth with 121 newborns. Its association with light and sunshine perfectly fits the summer theme.

Rounding out the top five is Daisy, a direct nod to the cheerful flower, given to 105 baby girls. The name evokes images of sunny meadows and long, carefree summer days.
