    Default Re: Names

    A cross post from the faction thread; I was being absent minded when I wrote up the 'surnames' for the Irish; none of them should be 'Ui'; this is the plural 'of'; that is 'Ui Connaill' refers to the entirety of the clan 'of Connell'. It should be the singular 'Ua Connaill', a single clansman of the Connell. However, for variety, the Irish may also use 'Uo' for a few of these names; Uo is from the period's dialect in Connacht. Also, you can use ó (not O', that's anglicized) instead of 'Ui', this was a Leinster/Munster form of 'Ua', and a singular 'Of'. Dal is still as valid in this period; it's another form of 'Ua', but was most popular in Ulster/Dal Riadda/Alba.
