[quote=Anonymous]So I’m probably the only one still interested in this but Ivwent back to my 1914 baby naming book handed down from an old Irish priest. Note it only contains «Christian” names. Neither Oona nor Una is there. Kathleen is, as is Keyna meaning jewel, noted as a virgin from the irish lists. Niora or Niorah are listed as the airish forms of Honora, as are Nioreen, Niorena. Maureen is listed as an irish form of mary but maeve and mairead aren’t listed. Fiona not listed either. Basically, no saint, not on list. Which is probably another reason the old “Irish” names weren’t used by the Irish. With a few notable exceptions (Brigid), they did not qualify as baptismal names.[/quote]
