Get in! And sorry everyone, I had to make this quiz immediately for Premium members only for a bit...Tom's popularity caused a big Google Maps bill last time :) Thanks to everyone who became Premium and supported the site, and there's still a lot you can do without becoming a paid member! And Tom...per the directions you can mouseover those purple markers at the end to see the 25 largest cities you missed :)

When it comes to guessing Irish town names (applies both to NI and ROI), there are a handful of suffixes and prefixes that you can generally cram together and get lucky with. Bally/Balli (Town) Temple (Church) Kill/Kil (Church/Wood) Drum/Drom (Ridge) Carrick (Rock) Magh/May/Moy (Plain) Agha/Aghy/Aghey/Augha (Field) Cloon/Clon (Meadow) Loch/Lough (Lake) Carrig/Carrick/Craig (Rock) Letter (Hillside) Lis (Ring Fort) Port (Fort/Landing Place) Cloch/Cloich/Clough/Clogh (Stone) Knock (Hill) More (Big) Ros/Rush (Wood/Headland) Tully/Tullagh (Mound) Clare (Level Land) There are plenty more, but those are (I think) a bunch of the more common ones.

Then imagine forcing one writing system of the remnants of that, an absolute mess, ahaha~ Modern English is such a mongrel language already, but place names will always be weird, since normal words may have different pronunciations, a name will be insisted on one proper pronunciation.
