336.0. "any irish names please!!" by STRATA::KOCONNOR () Mon Jan 23 1989 04:58

    
      I love the name Brianna. My husband and i plan on starting a family
    in the fall, and i have been looking around for a nice irish name
    to go with O'Connor. Does anyone have any ideas for a girl and a
    boy?

336.1I thought Brie-anna was French CAM::MAZURMon Jan 23 1989 08:242
    Brianna sounds like a good name as long as your last name isn't
    Cracker.

336.5Not Megan ... but I like it anyway!KAOFS::S_BROOKHere today and here again tomorrowWed Feb 01 1989 16:277
    re an earlier reply that included Megan .....
    
    Sorry to say it's not Irish ... although it does share a Celtic
    origin ... the earliest indications of its use are in Wales.
    (See the note on Megan)

    Bridget                          Barry
    
    Is Margot Irish or French?  Maybe French since I've seen it also
    spelt Margeaux and Margo.
    
    
    
336.9UNCOMMON IRISH NAMECASPRO::RICHARDSONThu Feb 09 1989 08:418
    My mother has an uncommon Irish name, in fact she has never met
    anyone with her name.  Her name is Breida (prononuced Breeda). My
    grandparents said that it was a common name in Ireland in the early
    1900s.

336.10ANOTHER un(?)COMMON IRISH FAMILY NAMESCOLOX::GLIDDENMon Feb 13 1989 12:127
    
    A good Irish friend of mine was given, as her middle name,
    an unusual family name.  I've seen it spelled different ways,
    but hers is WYLIE.  Unfortunately I don't have any information
    as to it's origin, but it's got a nice Irish sound to it!
