OK...I am Wyllow MacMuireadhaigh's local herald. I am desperately trying
to help her with her name. I understand that it has been ruled that Cornish
and Gaelic are not registrable.
*Cornish* Gaelic not registerable Wyllow MacMuireadhaigh, 04/06 08/2006
Scots weirdness Wencenedl of Rokesburg, 09/04 05/2005

What I need to know is if she uses MacMurray (Black's Surnames of Scotland
pg. 546) rather than MacMuireadhaigh would that solve her problem? The
documentation she provides calls Wyllow an Irish hermit.
"When all due allowance has been made for accretions and errors in
transmission it seems impossible to doubt that three Irish hermits
were martyred at or near Lanteglos and commemorated by churches built in
their honor." *Celtic Christianity of Cornwall* by Thomas Taylor, M.A.,
F.S.A.
So, my "client" is very confused about this ruling. I can see her point and
I have no idea how to explain the ruling to her. Can anyone help me out
here?
Thanks,
Hedwig (having fun in the Loch this week)
