Kate, Thank you for your feedback. Two other nicknames which you may want to add to your list are: Ally for Alice, and Darby for Jeremiah. I also have come across "Piery" for Peter (derived from Norman root "Piers", originally pronounced Pierre). Sue Clement's suggestion that Onny may be for Honora also seems likely to me.

Owen and Eugene were used almost interchangeably, like Darby and Jeremiah; Bridget and Delia or Bedelia. Owen/Eugene is a common name used in the Carlow Cummins families, from the same root Eoghan.

Nelly/Nellie was not only a nickname for Ellen or Eleanor but also for Helen. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Nowlan" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 8:48:38 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-CARLOW] Anty Kate, Thank you for your feedback.

Roger, Kate, Sue: I've also seen Honora for Ann several times. And in Irish, Ann is Aine, pronounced on-ya... Onny may be derived directly from that. Onny for Winifred is unusual; I would expect Winny instead. Karen.

Karen, The name Winifred is Úna (Oo-na) in Irish and Onny is used as a petname for Úna in South Carlow.
