Well, Colleen is more so an Irish-American name but I have come across Irish girls named Colleen. My scout teacher's dd was Colleen and a knew one in college too. I happen to think it is a lovely name. Isn't that how Patrick is now? Friends tell me the only Irish men with that name are old. That's rubbish IMO, I know plenty of Patricks of all generations here in Ireland. Granted it wouldn't be as popular as it was 30-50 years ago but there are quite a few kid Patrick's about. It's kind of having a bit of a popularity surge, a bit like Molly. -- Marie Replace with real names to reply to me |

I don't have any heartburn over mixing names from different backgrounds. I do have a thing about the names sounding good together (whatever that means! ;-) but they don't necessarily have to be ethnically consistent to me. They kind of better not have to be for me, we've got a very Dutch surname but I can't see us using typically Dutch first names for our kids. In fact we have a Scottish boy, an anglicised Welsh boy and an anglicised Irish girl. -- Cheryl Mum to Shrimp (11 Mar 99), Thud (4 Oct 00) and Mischief (30 Jul 02) |
