My approach was to Google things like “Irish names” and add names coming up on such lists. Do you know of a good source I should use instead?

- disgruntledphd2 6y agoThe trouble with that is that "Irish" name lists are often written by Irish-Americans, rather than Irish people. For instance, you would often see names like Cailin, or Erin in American-Irish (they mean girl, and Ireland respectively) names, but these would be incredibly uncommon in Ireland itself.
