I think its a good name too, I was going to call my son Seamus but I got out-voted.. I do still call my son seamus as his nickname though. It seems the young Irish are not following tradition.... times have now changed and they like to use the more modern type of names from all around the world or copying from the rich and famous ! don't you think

leprechauns in pantomines etc are often given this name in Ireland. True, it is not a very popular first name. it is the irish for James. it is also considered quite an old name.

Capt Seamus T Kirk, has a ring about it eh, Jim?

I think it is a bit naff - it's like the preconception all Scottish men are called Hamish.

Seamus is a real old fashioned name ... Both my Grandads were called Seamus !!!!

It's a good Irish name, but it's also a stereotype like all Irishman drink a lot

it reminds me of a dwarf in Charmed. and yeah, they're from Ireland. but if you liked it, fine. it's unique. everybody is different in many ways.

Its a name used in Newfoundland Canada as well. First off, I'd feel sorry for a kid with the name because people always pronounce it wrong when they read it (Its supposed to be pronounced shame-us, but they pronounce it seem-us). Secondly, its just dorky and the poor kid would be teased and beat up. There is an AM TV host in Toronto with the name , and he's just plain dorky himself. Check it out: http://www.ctv.ca/canadaam

IT IS AN OLDER NAME ,A MORE MODERN VERSION I.E. SEAN, OR SHAUN. SOUNDS OK THOUGH.
