Yes, that's my point. This board is NOT for opinions, it's not about what you "think" or about what you "guess". It's about providing factual explanations based on research. Go read some of the other replies people have made - read posts by Cleveland Kent Evans, Anneza, Miranda, Andy, Pavlos, or any of the other regulars, and see how THEY present their findings. But don't say *anything* about the meaning or origin of a name unless you have some evidence to support what you say.
It's not hard to understand. If you're too young to cope with this board, stick to the other boards and stay off this one.

I don't think it was that bad what she said, as she did say it's a guess. This way, Wintermoon can decide for herself, if it might be something in that direction by narowing in her search. And I find her guess quite good aswell, that was the first thing that sprang to my mind aswell.

It looks Welsh to me...
A la Eirlys and all. And Welsh, it should be noted, is not Gaelic--it's Brythonic Celtic, so says Wikipedia.
But I agree with Lala that it may be totally made up. And I agree with Chrisell that "wild guesses" don't belong here. Educated guesses are permitted, but you got to have a fact or two to base that guess on!
