Adding James, Francis, Gerald, Thomas, Kevin

Hortense, Molly (short for something) and Kathleen were the names of aunts.

Men: Michael, Joseph, John, Patrick, Matthew, Jeremiah, Cornelius, Denis, Gerard, Peter, Paul, Timothy

Some of my aunts and older cousins have names that aren't stereotypically Irish, but were very commonly used in the 1930s-'50s. I'll rattle through some relatives, though some names have been mentioned already.

Mary, Ellen, Sarah, Eimar, Orla, Eileen, Kathleen, Marie, Anne, Josephine, Nancy, Margaret, Frances, Nora

I never met an Irish-American Deborah or Suzanne or Sharon. Theresa yes, but add the h.

No “h” for my Irish-born mother named Teresa. I would strike that requirement.

I don't have a dog in this T(h)eresa fight but Irish-born names and Irish-American names are not the same. OP is looking for Irish American naming conventions specifically.

And she is receiving them. Earlier “h” PP is not the arbiter of Irish-American names. Frankly, I can’t take her opinion seriously if she hasn’t heard of an Irish-American named Sharon before.

I was responding to the PP who used "Irish-born" as an appeal to authority to try to settle the question. Irish-born is not what OP asked for, Irish American is. So the appeal to authority fails.

It's like someone piping in with what their Irish Australian cousins are named: certainly interesting but not the topic at hand.

It really depends on whether or not you are talking about first generation Irish or not. American trends will change the names. Aside from the old-fashioned names, Irish people tend to trend heavily into the classic names: apostles and saints and some royalty.

In the more American midwest line of things...
