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.

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 .

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

You've noticed that too?

Two ready made names right there, Clarke McCusker and his lovely wife Kelly Donnelly

You should write a novel.

You're already ahead of the OP. Lead character AND love interest.

Clarke McCusker, a native of Fivemiletown, and previous bigshot drummer in the Cavanaleck Pipe Band, and his dirty taig of a new wife are about to be find out.

Will he stay true to those Loyalist roots, and give her up, or will love shine through, and his Red Hand Defenders tattoo get a course of laser removal?
