ArchivesRe: Not in Ireland
in reply to a message by Jordan
ah so they do use Erin ... I never really checked into it ...Erin, where did you get your info?
I've heard of people named Eire, but do they use it it Ireland?
Using the name Ireland or Irelin in Ireland would be more like using America in the US than Erin.

I think its probably got quite popular recently because of all the troubles there at the moment. I guess it could be seen as an equivalent to calling their baby "Peace" or something. Also, English is spoken just as much as Gaelic, so it would probably be thought of as less strange to call someone "Erin."
