Re: Some atrocities from a bad name book I own. Read and weep!
I like your tenuous link (nice to learn a bit of Scots Gaelic) but if the book can quite cheerfully declare that Helmut is French and Aeneas is Irish, then I'm betting they're thinking of that 'Scottish word' Lundi. (ie Monday in French)
Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel is named after an Old Norse word for puffin. I've never heard of it as a first name anywhere either.
