Tyrone?

Go with something like Owen McGarvan. The character should also be extremely dour and sour tempered, and with a huge chip on his shoulder about everything.

Hope you have a proofreader OP!

But I can't wait to read the adventures of Muck McSavage.

Even people from Tyrone won't want to read a book about a guy from Tyrone, he should be from somewhere exotic and exciting, like Leitrim

Eoghan O'Neill. Hugh O'Donnell. Old as the hills and still plenty of lads knocking around that neck of the woods with those monikers.

OP, why not just open a phone book from the area and go with the most common name you can find?

Man or woman?

Gonna be a very short novel, then, is it?

A phone book is too much effort, and Google is a mystifying beast?

Literally in less time it took you to write your original post, you could have googled "Popular names in county Tyrone" and got this

"Common Surnames in Tyrone: Loughran, McGurk, Grimes, Monahan, Heagney, Skeffington, O'Neill, Harte, Clarke, McCusker, Quinn, Mullan, Kelly, Donnelly, Gallagher, McKenna, Campbell and Hughes"

Then just stick any name in from, there you go, typical Tyrone name.

And thus Shakira McCusker was born.

Odhran O Conchubhair of course.

In all seriousness, I don't wanna knock the wind out of your sales, but if you're a novelist shouldn't you come up with the names yourself? rather than starting a thread on an internet forum. Kinda lacks originality and imagination.

Trouble is you might end up with a wrong footed name

The OP said he was deported to the Americas.

You know that fadas don't travel well.

They get jumbled up in transit. One of them ended up in the OP's déportation....

Look up the Tyrone GAA team for ideas, Peter Canavan was their most famous player.

Simultaneously cool & uncool, just like folks from Tyrone

Are you mad, he'll be closing off any chance for his character moving abroad and getting a job. He'll be left writing about what it's like in the dole queue.

My own is O'Neil. Like the name of legendary king of Tyronne .
