EVERY YEAR, THE Passport Office of Ireland release the top 200 most popular baby names in the country.

The list for 2015 has just come out, and the names at the summit are as predictable as ever: Daniel, James, Emily, and Jack retain the top spots.

But there are new, cool names catching them fast. So, in order of popularity:

15. Jayden

Baby M&R Glasgow M&R Glasgow

Just 18 babies got the passport with Jayden on it last year, but that figure is surely to rise in the future – it’s not that far off Jaden Smith territory in coolness.

14. Mason

19 Masons were welcomed into Ireland last year. Cool.

13. Annabelle

Baby Emily Kitt Walker Kitt Walker

And 19 Annabelles as well.

12. Kai

20 passports with Kai as the name were issued to the babies of Ireland last year. It’s the lowest

A jump to 25 for Ollie.
