These names have the biggest egos among Irish single people

Know anyone with these names?

Know anyone with these names?

What’s in a name? Apparently there’s more than you know.

To be fair, I genuinely think that most of these pieces of research that equate someones name to their sex appeal, ability to buy nice presents or get a date are not always 100% accurate, but there’s no denying that they’re fun.

Bad news though if you happen to be named  Declan or Patricia because you have the biggest egos among Irish men and women, according to dating site EliteSingles.ie. Simply put, you love yourselves.
