it turns out that many names have been translated into Irish over the years. If your name was a saint name, norman name, english settler or missionary there is often an irish equivalent.
3 of 4 of our family have Irish names
Seán Mac Tomáis
Riobeard Mac Tomáis
Sorcha Mac Tomáis
can you guess whose missing?
Audrey and Jack have a few aunts and uncles with Irish names
Mairéad, Marta, Peadar, Siui, Uilliam (thats 3 unlucky without and only 1 happy couple with irish names)
last only 1 grandparent with an irish name (see Riobeard again...)
