I came on a Saoirse once, does that count????

Breeder? Or Concepta?

They're spelled differently though I think...

I'd love to put the name down of a girl I used to work with but like the OP it'd be really easy to trace.

What made it worse was that she had the most annoying voice in the world so when she said her name it sounded even worse.

Moling is a Carlow one. As is Laserian and the female version Lasairfhíona (which I love.)

Yep, Ceol- Rince was the babys name !! The two reading out did a double take and then , as they do on TV 3 AM , started on about how lovely , how cute and generally being ass lickers .

That girl on tv on the All Ireland talent show that pronounces her name like I clear my throat. And spells it with enough fadas that you could spell a normal name with the ink used.
