[Facts] Irish émigré names
I was thinking, I'm an American with some good Gaelic study behind me.
And when ever someone asks about "Colleen," "Tara," "Tyrone," "Shannon," and "Erin," I find myself repeating older posts ad nauseum.And as I've stated, I have a good many bases covered with regards to the so-called famous "Irish émigré names." But I was wondering if anyone else knew of any others not mentioned here.

Clodagh is one that springs to mind. Also Ireland itself, which I wouldn't mind if it weren't invariably used by mommies and daddies who've never set foot there :-)Elinor (who is Irish by blood, Scottish in practice)
