More about Irish Names
A very early Irish Interest Group Newsletter (Vol. 1, No 3, December 1980) included a page of guidance about Irish names. The article says "the following lists were given at a Priesthood Genealogical Seminar of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" prior to January 1975. Other sourcing details would be helpful, but here are the names just for fun:
