MATTHEW AND Lucy were the most popular names chosen by parents who announced their babies’ arrivals in the birth columns of The Irish Times last year.
This was a major comeback for Lucy, which languished in tenth place last year after being the second most popular name in 2007.
Matthew shared the fourth most popular slot with Adam in 2008 but toppled James from the top spot last year.
More than 780 births were announced in the Saturday column last year including some 20 sets of twins.
Charlie, Conor, Harry, Jack and Daniel were all popular boys’ names last year while Oscar and Joshua made their debut in the top 10.
