Below is a collection of other interesting websites I have found about Baby Names, Irish History and my travels to Ireland.
Baby / Names Sites:
American Name Society
The American Name Society was founded in 1951 to promote onomastics, the study of names and naming practices, both in the United States and abroad. It is a non-profit organization that seeks to find out what really is in a name, and to investigate cultural insights, settlement history, and linguistic characteristics revealed in names.
