By and large, I pay attention to given names, especially when I'm in certain areas of the country.? I find that Jane, for instance, is more often a Protestant Christian name, as is George, no matter where I go.? But especially around Donegal, where my grandmother was from, it's more an all bets are off type situation.? Grace and Annabelle are found in both religions.? For men on the whole, Patrick and James, I've found to be Catholic names, while William and John cross all boundaries.? For women, Johanna, Hanora, Bridget, those tend to be Catholic, while Judith, Adelaide, Charlotte, those tend to be Protestant.? I certainly don't hang my hat on the Christian name, but I do keep it in the back of my mind.
