Greetings Diane Very informative and entertaining. Was wondering, what are the male versions of the names Niamh, Saoirse, Siobhan, and Caoimhe? Are there Irish names that are gender neutral that can be used for both male and female children? (maybe just spelling is slightly different) About names. this is one of the best things about being Native Indigenous in the Americas. You can be in a community of a 100 to 10,000 and there is less than 5% anyone will have the same name. Names come from animals, nature, fauna, an activity the person does, personality trait, character / temperament of the person. Plus, the same name given at birth will / could change based on a Vision Quest. Depending on tribe, a vision quest requires a 4-day fasting ceremony. The person then goes out into nature to 'meditate' / 'commune' with nature. (Usually monitored by an adult for safety purposes) By 3rth or 4th night, they get a 'special' dream that should reveal their new name and life path. Once the 'dream / vision' has been had. It is taken to the spiritual elder in the tribe (priest and doctor version). She or he will translate the meaning of the dream in a sweat lodge. The new name is revealed in special celebration / ceremony. (of course, there is more to it, but this is the general structure)

It said that a Clarence is a four-wheeled carriage with a seat on the outside for the driver named for the Duke of Clarence. So that’s why she called me Coche.

From what I've read, my last name is derived from Diarmad (Diarmada), but I don't know how to pronounce that. Incidentally, a couple of years ago I read in a Wikipedia article that one Irish translation of Jeremy/Jeremiah is also Diarmad/Diarmada. So, that would give me the same first and last name, I guess. 😂
