ETA -- the link provided in the second response is full of names that are about as Irish as "Kaitlyn" and "Shaun". Please, don't take babynames.com seriously, at all. Their the soul advocates for misinformation and ignorance in modern society when it comes to naming.|||http://www.babynames.com/irish-baby-name…
