[Opinions] *sigh* (in a good way)

Be still my beating heart! As an Irish American name nerd this list is catnip. I couldn't comment on all of them, but my darling Fergus made the list. (Loving Fergus Bernard.) And I'm grateful to you for listing Iarla. That must be a modern form of Iarlaith / Jarlaith. And if so, I've been pronouncing it incorrectly, including the "th" on the end. So now I know better. Thanks!

I'll be dreaming of Emers and Cormacs and Nialls, oh my! :0)

There's a user-submitted entry for Iarla saying that it's Irish for "earl", so it might not be related to Iarlaith at all.

Well, lord and earl are pretty close. I've got my story and I'm sticking to it. But thanks! :0)
