You left off "Cory" which is pretty darned Celtic! lol
I was the only one in Catholic school without a saint's name and a nice nun told me I could be "St. Cory" one day… but I "drifted" and became a nice Pagan boy. lol
Thanks for the suggestion
My lineage is mostly scottish, I am curious how is it that everything is Irish Gaelic? I have recently come in to this wonderful world of being a Wiccan and withccraft practitioner, so I am in search of my new name….
Well, I think we just haven't gotten to everything yet. Very sorry about that. We will hit the Scottish names next!
Same but I am not catholic half pegan and half Christian I know odd but Christian is on my grandparent side and pegan On my Ma'ma side
One of my sons is called Aengus also spelt Aonghus which is derived from Aeneas and from which the later Scots name Angus came from. There is a poem by WB Yeats entitled the Song of Wandering Aengus.
My other son is call Fingal - the fair stranger - the giant featured in Fingal's Cave.
What about the name Lilith? Haven't found it on any of the lists.
While Lilith is a popular name among magical folks, it is actually a Hebrew name from Jewish folklore. She is in some cased identified as Adam's first wife. And in other cases identified in magical manuscripts from Jewish tradition as a female demon and additional mystical importance is attached to her in the Kabbalah. While the name is certainly steeped in magic, it cannot be called a Pagan name.
Thank you! this was a lot of help for me when I named the characters in my novel. And I didn't know that my name was pagan so now I am very glad I found this page. My parents are christians but I dont think they know they gave me a pagan name, I'm glad they did though since I actually am pagan. (sorry if my English isn't very good)
