It depends. Are the names obviously modern forms, or is it a reproduction of
an in-period map (or otherwise uses period spellings?) Even if not, it may
still be useful. Can you tell us what family name in particular she's
looking at?

That's a good Greek name. Actually, it's a Greek version of a Persian
name... Not something you'd find up in Ireland, alas.
