Is this a popular name? Nerdy? Silly? Do you know anyone with this name? I just wondered how it was thought of there, since I am in the US.

Gosh, he is adorable. I looked them up on Wiki, had never heard of them before.
It's really too late anyway, since my 3 yr old son is named Declan! People have never heard of his name where I live. It's really rare that someone knows the name. People think I am saying Jacklyn or spell it DECKLAND. Weird.
He is a crazy little redhead though. As soon as he was born I saw that Declan suited him.

Declan is considered (as far as I'm aware) to be a perfectly normal name in Ireland, and is quite a popular name. It certainly wouldn't be considered silly! I know a couple of little girls called Niamh over here in the UK, which some people consider very unusual but in Ireland it's one of the most common names. Similarly an ex pat Irish person wouldn't bat an eyelid at the name Declan, and would probably quite approve. Go for it!

Hi there.
Yes Declan is quite a popular name here in Ireland. Declan is a saints name of which the origin I am not too sure. It is also quite a popular name among nuns who take on the name. My mother was taught by a Sr. Declan many years ago. It is not as popular as it was years ago as most saints name but you do get the odd person in Ireland named Declan of the younger generation.
