Reply to: translating my name to gaelic by cory
According to Namenerds.com's English-Irish name translation page, Cory is a "problem name":

Corey, Corrie, Cori etc.
Corrie/Corry is an anglicization of the Irish surnames Mac Gothraidh , Ó Comhraí, Ó Comhraidhe, and Ó Corra. Gothraigh ("Godfrey")/GUH ree/, Comhrai(dh) /KAH ree/ or /KOW ree/, and Corra ("spear") /KUR ra/ are all first names, though all male.
