Too bad.
I'm a little bit Irish in that my great-grandmother came to the US from Ireland.

11. That link doesn't seem to have an extensive list

I looked for my girlfriend's name and it wasn't on there either.

My name wasn't on the initial list either, but after clicking on that I see that it's probably Sinead. :)

21. Correction

Denice (Denise, usually) is a French word (St Denis), so there is no direct translation. That web site says I can Gaelicize it though, to :

Deníce



DUN a ka

Hmmm... Seems a little to close to "Donna" for me, but perhaps I'm not pronouncing it correctly.

although one of the suggestions is Ríobhca (REEV ka), which I think sounds kind of cool. :D Even though it's on my mother's side and therefore not really in my name, I'm descended from the Flynn family of Ireland, so that counts, right? :P :hi:

[Aristus]

41. My name is Robert, so the Irish would call me "Roibeard".

B-)

I'm part Irish.

Just call me Celtic. :beer:
