Found these while browsing during my lunch hour. (Wanted dig deeper and find other stuff than the usual baby names webites).Thought they might help others too.
I haven't had time to explore in depth, but they looked like a wealth of information, so I just had to share them!
http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/ http://www.name-meanings.com/ http://www.namenerds.com/irish/lists.html http://www.gallica.co.uk/celts/names.htm http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/cel-anci.php http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/anci.php http://www.mythome.org/celticnames.html http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/nameetymologies/p/AncientNames.htm http://www.egyptpyramidhistory.com/pyramid_names.htm http://ahd.exis.net/monaghan/irish-names-naming.htm http://pleiades.stoa.org/names Some of these are not just lists with meanings, but also structure for families like the Irish Naming Patterns for Children for example... The 1st son was usually named after the father's father The 2nd son was usually named after the mother's father The 3rd son was usually named after the father The 4th son was usually named after the father's eldest brother etc.. and pronounciation, and more. I did have a link to "Celtic Names of the British Isles", but it is no longer in use. However I did download the list, so I'll create a PDF and post up a download link if people are interested. BTW: is there a place here on CN for resources - lists of links like this? I'm talking about something like the Photo reference archive that forum users have built up over at REFERENCES - ConceptArt.org Forums Having a sub forum like that where people post links for everyone's reference would be pretty handy. It can be time consuming trawling through posts where it goes off topic and the like. please post other links if you don't mind sharing them. Hope it helps. Cheers jez
