Another selection from 1914 of Irish saints, this time of those whose feasts fall in the month of August, offered as suggestions for naming children:
IRISH SAINTS' NAMES.
There
are many who think that the Irish saints are only a few, and so their
choice of names for their children is very small. Week by week, a list
will be given. The name will be spelt as in Irish and the English
equivalent will be given in brackets. The sex is marked m. for males,
and f. for females. Only one name is given for each day, but more could
be given. Year of death as below.IRISH SAINTS' NAMES.
