[quote=Anonymous]I've shared this story before on DCUM. My maternal great-grandparents' generation came over from Ireland. Lots of Mary, Marie, Catherine, Jeremiah, and Michaels. I was born shortly after Bloody Sunday and the first person in my family to be given a distinctively Irish name. My name is unusual and people get it wrong all the time, but I still like it and I do like having a connection to my militant nationalist relatives. What's more immigrant American than to be the descendant of terrorists fleeing their homeland? I think that having an unusual name is less and less of an issue as we become more diverse. I meet people all the time who have given names that I've never encountered before and I learn a new name. In closing: use the name you love, OP![/quote]
