Re: Taya
Can't find anything like this in any of my reference books on Welsh or Celtic names, and I don't think "ay" would be pronounced as English "eye" in those languages. This looks to me like someone was trying to think of Taya as a feminine form for Tadhg, but I doubt if that is really a correct derivation.

It might simply be some (intentional or unintentional) mistaken spelling of Tara, which has a gaelic origin.
