Also Biddy, Breege. I can remember someone at school being called BabyAnne. Never knew her real name! Don't know of any publication listing these. Some of the names are very localised. The latin form would have been used for baptism in many cases.

It is "baby-name books." I don't know if there are as many in the UK as they are in the US, but I find them easily in second-hand shops. I have at least 4 of the paperback version. Most offer the variations in spelling and the nicknames and if the name has a different origin. There are many variations on Bridget. One example is the name I knew of in the 1970's. My late, EX-mother-in-law had a step-mother whose first name was Bridie. It might have been her official name. In one of my books, I see that it says that Bridie is "Irish pet form of Bridget, or Bride (Irish Brighde), found occasionally as an independent name." Betty (near Lowell, MA,USA) (My current husband's great-grandparents were born in Co. Galway in ~1860. I don't know anything else about their families in Ireland, although I'll check my notes to see if I'm not remembering something.)

I'll copy/paste part of my posting here. I don't know anything else about the families in Ireland. I have just received information on my husband's great-grandparents, Peter and Margaret GAVIN of Waltham, MA, US. Peter was born ~1859 in County Galway, and his parents were Cornelius GAVIN and Margaret _____. Margaret was born ~1860 in County Galway, and her parents were Patrick WHELAN and Bridgit KEARNS. They seem to have come over to the US as single people in 1883 as they married in Waltham, MA, in 1884. They had 8 children who seem to have all lived to adulthood. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) (I adopted the GAVIN List a couple yrs. ago, and I just noticed that there were some postings from 10 yrs. ago about the GAVIN name in Co. Galway.
