Hi Listers, I wonder if anyone knows if there are any different names for "Neil". Thanks, Carol

The Gaelic for Neil is Niall. In Scotland, this is pronounced the same as Neil. In Ireland it seems to be pronounced Nye-all. You may find it occasionally spelt Niel in the older records. I think this is just confusion by the recorder between English and Gaelic spellings. Nigel is the same name and is more common in England. Hope this helps!
