need an Irish battle name

[Phil]

Sorley Boy MacDonnell was more Hebridean Scot than Irish in background. Suggestions:
Manus Roe O'Cahan, Con Dubh O'Neill. Two Irish Confederates who gave Cromwell and the Covenanters a poke in the eye.

And where did the Hebridean Scots come from?

And where did the Hebridean Scots come from?

The Hebrides. The MacDonnells were seen by the Elizabethan authorities, and the local Irish such as the MacQuillans whom they dispossessed, as Scottish interlopers, not a native Irish Clan. Depends how bothered you can take this back I guess.

In the spirit of the group, I'd suggest something....different

Say, take some inspiration from Johnny Cash (A Boy Named Sue), Joss Whedon (Jayne Cobb) and my former neighbor ( the guy who named a Basset Hound "Fang" and called a much beloved Pot-bellied Pig "Bacon").

I bet an Irish warrior named "Molly" would have to be pretty fierce!

There's already a guy named "Fifi." Not sure how well that works out for him... I'll have to make a point to ask.


I think I've narrowed my list to two that I like the both the sounds and histories of:

Cúchulainn
Irish, good fighter, honorable character, and I figure the whole coming back to help convert King Lóegaire is enough of a link to Christianity (unless Wikipedia lied).

--or--

Samson
Not Irish, but Samson was pretty much the Rambo of the Bible, and I have the excessively long hair going for me. I just need to start lifting again...
