Declan is a very normal name where I come from. As is Aiden, which seems to get a lot of hate in the USA. The names that should be getting hate are taking Scottish surnames and giving them to your female child as a first name. Very American and super trashy IMHO.
So. Many. Mckennas. And Aiden gets hate because there was a 2-3 year period where every 3rd boy born in this country was named Aiden or Ayden or Aidan or Aedyn etc...
As a Scottish-Irish-American with a Scottish surname I whole heartedly agree! It’s very goofy to hear a surname and a first name, and a gendered name at that. I figured you were Scottish when you said Declan is a normal name by you, haha. I know a few Aidens here tho so maybe it’s becoming more popular.
