807.0. "Source of Irish names" by MSBCS::E_CARROLL () Thu Jul 16 1992 12:22

We won't know for sure for a couple more weeks if it's a boy or girl, but my husband wants
very much to honor his Irish heritage by having the baby's first name be of Irish origin. 
Given the many baby name books I've seen, there's got to be one of Irish names...has anyone
seen one or know where I could find one?

Thanks for the help,
Elaine

p.s.  I like Timothy, but it's of Greek origin according to the book I've got.  If anyone's got 
different information, I'd love to hear it....it'd strengthen my case with my husband who likes
Brendan.

    I don't know about a book, but I like
    Shamus (James) there are a few ways to spell Shamus.

807.2There is a book on non-typical Irish namesSOTT::NAULTMon Aug 03 1992 16:2319
    There is a book on Irish baby names out there - my sister-in-law has
    one!  I think it is called something like "Beyond <typical Irish girl's
    name> and <typical Irish boy's name>.
    
    I know some of the names she has been thinking of are:
    
    Girls:
      Flannery
      Shayla (not sure of the spelling on this one)
    
    Boys:
      Conner
      Padrick
      Liam
    
    Next time I talk with her, I'll try to remember to ask her for the name
    of the book and where she bought it.
